Features

  • Classic curved pick works both in snow and ice
  • Made from a ultralight titanium, it offers the weight of aluminum with the durability of steel
  • Adze is shaped to cut hard alpine ice for clearing placements and anchors—or helping to clear a bivy ledge
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum shaft is curved slightly to help clear undulating terrain
  • Lower grip is enhanced for additional friction while climbing
  • Compatible with both the BLUE ICE Sliding Pommel and Tech Pommel grips (not included)
  • Pommels can be placed in multiple positions, such as at the bottom to enhance your grip support for vertical terrain
  • Place the pommel above the lower grip to matching hands in mixed terrain
  • Or place the pommel a hand's width below the head to move comfortably over long, lower angle terrain
  • Bevel-cut angle of the lower shaft allows for purchase in snow, while a nylon insert keeps snow from accumulating inside the handle
  • Length is ideal for steeper terrain yet short enough to store inside an alpine or ski pack
  • It can also be slipped between your shoulder blades for quick storage and access in variable angle terrain
  • Included pick and adze protectors make it easier to transport this ice axe without damaging your gear
  • Certified to the EN 13089 / UIAA 152 standards
