Key Features Explained
The steel pick tapers to 3 mm at the tip and is described for penetration in hard ice. The stainless steel spike is described for hard snow. These stated purposes do not guarantee results in particular conditions.
The upper part of the pick provides a hand-resting surface for piolet-canne mode. Machined grooves on the shaft provide grip surfaces. The steel adze is described as optimized for cutting steps; this describes its intended function, not a guarantee of results in particular conditions.
Connection holes are present in both the head and the spike. Their presence alone does not establish compatibility with a particular carabiner or attachment setup, so check the relevant equipment instructions.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Length: Compare the 68 cm size with the length recommended for your intended use. Do not assume another size is interchangeable.
- Rating: Check the Type 1 (B-Rated) pick and shaft against the requirements for your intended use.
- Exact version: Confirm the model number U025Aa02 and Light Blue color when distinguishing this axe from other versions.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 68 cm length, model number, and rating suit your intended use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable training for selection and use. If you plan to connect other equipment through the holes, check compatibility and the equipment instructions for that setup.
