Grivel's entry in the lightweight ice axe category inevitably draws comparison to the Petzl Gully. Petzl's 280g axe is a very popular choice amongst ski mountaineers and anyone else who travels fast and light in the mountains. Available as both an adze and hammer, the Ghost Evo is slightly heavier at 309g—but in reality both axes are incredibly light for how well they perform and it is the other design choices which should guide your decision between the two.
