  • Hot forged chromoly steel head is curved to offer a comfortable, powerful grip
  • The shaft is made of ultra-light aluminum with a textured rubber coating for a solid grip and great thermal insulation
  • Curved upper shaft allows good clearance during climbing, while the straighter lower part guarantees efficient penetration in snow
  • The pick is thin (3.5 mm) at the tip to ensure solid purchase in ice, and wide in the middle (8 mm) for soft snow
  • Teeth are positioned and tapered to optimize holding power while descending (piolet rampe usage)
  • Tilted adze directs the axe correctly into the snow (piolet-canne usage)
  • Head and spike are equipped with wide, oval holes for easily clipping a carabiner
  • Stainless steel spike ensures excellent grip on rock
  • Ergonomically shaped spike is adapted to the shape of the palm and designed to avoid damaging the bottom of the grip
