Overview
High mountain terrain and ski touring routes are where this axe fits, with a short length that stays out of the way on a pack. The head is alloy, the handle material is nylon, and the blade edge is plain.
Low weight is the reason to carry it: this is a compact tool for glacier and ski mountaineering. The listing does not give certification or adze details, so check the maker papers before deciding.
Who it's for
Ski tourers and mountaineers who want a short, light axe to carry on long days get a basic tool here. Technical ice climbers, and anyone who needs a published strength standard, should look for a certified, more specialized model.
Pros and cons
- Very light for its length
- Alloy head and nylon handle
- Short enough to pack easily
- Plain blade edge
- Certification not listed
- Head and adze shape unspecified
- Not described for technical ice
Performance notes
Weight matters on long approaches, and a short axe is easy to hold on a pack for ski descents. A plain edge suits general glacier use more than technical placements, which are not listed here.
