Morpho Ice Tool - For Ice

The latest (2022) piece of art from Elite Climb is the Morpho made with a composite of  Carbon fibres, Vectran and Graphene.  This is the ultimate weapon for ice climbing.

Carbon fibres are lightweight, flexible, have shock absorption and are warm on hands, 70% lighter than steel, and 40% lighter than aluminum, high strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion resistance, low mass, superior fatigue properties, and resistance for low temperatures.

Vectran is a high-strength polyacrylate fibre, a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer. The fibre is five times stronger than steel and offers a unique combination of outstanding properties. It is the fibre of choice where others fail to meet performance requirements.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Graphene is the thinnest compound known to man at one atom thick, the lightest material known (with 1 square meter weighing around 0.77 milligrams), and the most robust compound discovered between 100-300 times stronger than steel.

The Morpho is ultralight and is ideal for ice, mixt and drytooling. Designed by Jedrzej Jabłoński to be top of the class with outstanding efficiency, the most ergonomic shape, long reach with precision and high shaft stiffness.

Morpho Ice (Blue vs Black):

If you spend 90% of your climbing time on ice, it's the tool you want. If you care about performance on rock, you should go for the green or the HD (yellow) version. The Black Morpho is the new 2024 generation base from the 2022 Blue Morpho. The co-designer Jedrzej Jablonski upgraded the geometry with some improvement. The most noticeable is a slightly smaller shaft than the blue. As a result, it provides a better and more precise swing. The second handle's pinky rest is slightly bigger.

• Optimized for ice climbing
• Weight is concentrated at the head for a perfect swing and better ice penetration
• Steel spikes for extra durability
• The shaft is covered with a special friction paint for extra grip
• Pinky rest (trigger) on the first and second handle
• Clipping hole at the bottom
• Optional Morpho Pick Weight compatible on specific picks (sold separatly)
• Made according to EN 13089 standard for ice axes (Type 2 / T-rated)
• Weight:
  • Black: 
  • Blue: 366g (shaft and bolts only - no pick)
• Pick recommended:
  • Morpho #0, #0.5, #1, #10, #11 and #2
  • EliteClimb Morpho Ice and Morpho Mixt
  • Krukonogi PAN0(A)
