The latest piece of art from Elite Climb is the Morpho made with a composite of Carbon fibres, Vectran and Graphene. This is the ultimate weapon. Carbon fibres are lightweight, flexible, have shock absorption and are warm on hands, 70% lighter than steel, 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, mixed 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 (green) vs Morpho HD (yellow) vs Morpho Ice (blue): The green is the most universal version of the Morpho tool. If you are still deciding which version suits you the best, choose the green. It will climb every terrain better than you can imagine. Morpho HD (yellow) is made with additional carbon and is suited for 85+kg bodyweight drytooling climbers. The Green Morpho is lighter and suitable for climbers below 85 kg Optimized for drytooling Weight is balanced throughout the shaft, in opposition to the Blue Morpho which is heavier in the head for better ice penetration Microspikes under the handle The upper part of the shaft is covered with a special friction paint for extra grip The handle and lower part of the shaft have a glossy finish for better adhesion with tapes Long pinky rest (trigger) on the second handle, in opposition to the Morpho Ice (Blue) Clipping hole at the bottom Made according to EN 13089 standard for ice axes (Type 2 / T-rated) Weight: 318g (shaft and bolts only - no pick) Pick recommended: Morpho #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7 EliteClimb Morpho Dry Krukonogi PSVD(A) Choose the Morpho for your needs Name Morpho Morpho HD Morpho Ice Color Green Yellow Blue Carbon amount Standard More Less Friction paint Upper shaft only Upper shaft only Whole shaft Upper trigger Cut to 25mm Cut to 25mm Cut to 20mm Head extra weight 0g 0g 15g Handle extra weight 30g 40g 60g Steel spike Micro Micro Full Spike Designed for All around Bodyweight: 85+kg for drytooling Alpine / Ice
