The Alpine-X Ice Axe delivers a hybrid ice tool with a lightweight aluminium shaft and highly engineered carbon steel blade and adze. The 3mm blade and weighted head provide consistent penetration on hard ice routes with a supporting, sharpened adze for step cutting and route cleaning.
An ergonomically shaped head makes for a comfortable hand-rest with a replaceable carbide bottom tip giving it maximum bite and penetration in hard ice conditions. The straight shaft design offers smooth placement and great hold in a belay (deadman) situation with head and base holes offering a choice of carabiner placement.
The Salewa Alpine-X is fit for use whether you're a recreational hill walker looking for extra stability or a professional mountaineer engaging with a challenging technical route. All-mountain performance with excellent hold, giving you the confidence to tackle the most demanding of alpine terrain.
With their roots deeply planted in the outdoors, Salewa is an established world leader in alpine products from jackets to shoes and accessories as well as climbing hardware.
