Designed for classic mountaineering, the SUMMIT ice axe offers an excellent price/performance ratio. Lightweight, yet offering good anchoring performance at the head and tip, and curved to provide the necessary clearance for steep and icy use, it can be used as a cane or ramp axe as well as a traction axe for short steep passages.
DETAILS
- Lightweight: lightweight ice axe that retains head weight for good anchoring power.
- Handle ergonomics:
