The shaft’s gentle curve just below the head gives greater clearance and makes anchoring easier on any sort of terrain, whilst the lower straight part of the shaft will penetrate into snow with little effort.

The head, which is hot forged from a single piece of steel, has become an established alpine classic.

Just got back from mount Cook and the ice axe worked amazing light to carry very strong to use great piece of kit
This the perfectly balanced, perfectly crafted, and perfectly performing ice axe for steep terrain.
Bought the longest lenth and it was exactly what I was after.
A superb ice axe - feels great in the hand, well balanced and comfortable (and sharp!). Prompt delivery and efficient service from the Gearshop team.
