Alpax

This Ice Tool is not as good as other simialar products. But it is very well balanced and due to its aluminium alloy the weight is minimized quite a lot.

The shaft is equipped with an ergonomic handle and it is very cokfortable on long routes although its performance in blank ice is limited because of the shorter arcuated shaft. You can get in four different lengths so that you can use it as ice axe as well.

I have the 73cm axe, got it new for small money and use it for normal mountaineering, not for ice climbing, i miss the good bite in ice. But for the price a good deal.
