My favorite all-around ice axe for not-too-technical terrain. Simple, lightweight, works well with every grip and position. An excellent compromise between weight and functionality. The EVO version comes with a profiled shaft that is supposed to improve the grip under the head, but it is slightly heavier.

  • all-around mountaineering
