Lightweight ice axe for glacier travel.
The lightweight GLACIER ice axe is your go-to companion for glacier travel. With a curved head designed to fit comfortably in your hand, it provides excellent grip in the piolet-canne position. Its stainless steel spike and tapered pick offer high-quality anchoring in hard snow and ice. The GLACIER is available in four lengths: 50, 60, 68, and 75 cm.
