A lightweight and compact ice axe, ideal for ski touring, fast-and-light mountaineering, or carrying 'just in case' during winter mountain walks. 50cm size allows unobtrusive carry on your pack, and is easy to manoeuvre on steep ground. Unlike some ultra-light axes, the Glacier will happily withstand regular use.
Features include:
- Supportive surface on the upper part of the head is designed to fit comfortably in your hand and provides excellent grip in the 'piolet-canne' position.
- Stainless steel spike gives good penetration in hard snow.
- High-quality tempered steel pick.
- Strong steel adze with an edge designed for efficient cutting of steps.
- Head and spike equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling.
- High-quality aluminium shaft (aluminium 7075, used in aeronautics), with anodized finish for excellent rust protection.
- Grooves cut into the shaft provide better grip when used for steep climbing.
- Supplied with spike and pick protectors.
- 3-year guarantee.
