騎行冰斧

I’d been dreading the extra weight on my pack for a steep ski traverse, but this axe’s compact shape fits sideways in my bag without hogging space. The steel head bites into hard snow with zero fuss, and the tapered pick is noticeably sharper than my old model.

Glacier crossing felt noticeably lighter with this in my pack—the 3mm tapered pick sliced through ice without any jarring.

The steel head bites into hardpack and icy slopes with zero chatter, which made me feel confident during a sketchy glacier crossing. It’s so light I almost forgot it was clipped to my pack.
