Basic Ice Axe

By Helgi Egilsson Ranked #21 - Backcountry Snowboarding February 8, 2012

This ice axe is quite good if you're going for some non-technical climbing/snow hiking. But that's it. If you're going to be doing any techincal stuff, there is a bunch of better axes. It's not the lightest you can get either. So if you're looking for an ice axe for alpine touring or a "just in case" one Camp Corsa Nanotech (for example) would be a lot better choice.
