Classic mountaineering ice ax
The SUMMIT ice ax, intended for classic mountaineering, offers an excellent price/performance ratio. Lightweight, with good anchoring features both on the head and on the handle, curved to offer the necessary separation when used on vertical and icy terrain, it can be used as an ice axe-cane or ice axe-ramp, or as an ice axe-traction in steps short verticals.
Description
- Lightness: light ice ax, but which retains weight on the head for good anchoring power.
- Handle ergonomics:
- The handle is curved at the top, offering good clearance distance when climbing.
- The lower part is straighter and guarantees effective penetration into the snow.
- Hot forged steel blade and blade, which ensures solid anchors:
- Thin blade (3 mm) and serrated at the tip, which ensures good anchoring quality on hard snow and ice.
