Aluminum Avalanche Probe - 230cm
The K2 Aluminum Avalanche 230cm Probe gives you a stiff and reliable way to measure snowpack, practice rescue skills, and, of course, pinpoint a buried victim in a real-life avalanche rescue. Along with a partner, beacon, and shovel, this aluminum probe helps to prepare you for backcountry travel with its trigger-pull handle and strong, stiff shaft. It also features 230 one-centimeter graduations for accurate snowpack depth readings and comes with a stuff sack for easy packing.
