Full details
The Grivel Double Spring EVO Leash is designed for mountaineers and ice climbers who need a secure and reliable leash system to prevent losing their ice axes. Its key benefit is the secure attachment to both the ice axe and the harness. A slight caveat is that users must be familiar with cow hitch knotting. The leash features a double elastic design for flexibility, a swivel to prevent twisting, and a lightweight build (57g) using polyester, rubber, and aluminum.

Troubleshooting
Leash feels too short when reaching for placements.
Ensure the leash is fully extended. Check your harness attachment to ensure it is correctly positioned. Consider your climbing style and adjust accordingly. Practice with the leash on a dry surface before using it on a climb to improve technique.
Swivel on the harness side is stiff or doesn't rotate smoothly.
Clean the swivel with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant designed for outdoor gear may help, but avoid over-lubricating.
Elastic cords show signs of fraying or damage.
Discontinue use immediately and replace the leash. Damaged elastic cords can compromise safety and lead to failure.
