Lightweight performance ice axe with a meticulous design and finish. The GLACIER ice axe offers very good anchoring qualities in hard snow and ice, thanks to its very high quality steel pick, guaranteeing both solid bite and durability.

Lightness and comfort:
- the upper part of the pick offers excellent grip (comfortable supporting surface)
