Details
Compact and lightweight, the GLACIER LITERIDE ice axe is the perfect choice for ski mountaineering. It also has the benefit of great anchoring efficiency thanks to its very high-quality steel pick, guaranteeing both confident anchoring and great durability.

- Lightness and comfort:
- The upper part of the pick offers excellent grip (comfortable supporting surface)
- The pick and the shaft are lighter, yet extremely robust - Very good anchoring qualities in hard snow and ice, thanks to:
- The profile of the pick, for sure and stable anchoring
- The toothed steel pick, thinner at the tip (3 mm)
- The stainless steel spike, for very good penetration in hard snow - High strength and practical aspects:
- High-quality steel pick (identical to picks of technical ice axes)
- Very strong steel adze with an edge designed for efficient cutting of steps
- Head and spike equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling
- High-quality aluminum shaft (aluminum 7075, used in aeronautics), with anodized finish for excellent rust protection
