The bottom also features an anti - slip grip. The pick, made of durable chromoly steel, can break through even hard snow or alpine ice. The adze is designed to effortlessly cut steps or build snow platforms. The ergonomically - shaped ice axe head simplifies self - arrest maneuvers. Both the head and the spike have large holes for attaching a carabiner, and a leash FIX is included. It comes in three sizes: 55 cm (445 g), 62 cm (470 g), and 69 cm (495 g).
Using this ice axe is straightforward. When climbing on icy or mixed terrain, grip the anti - slip part of the shaft firmly. Use the pick to penetrate hard snow or ice and the adze to cut steps or create snow platforms. For self - arrest, hold the ice axe with the ergonomic head in a proper position. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, clean the ice axe with a dry cloth to remove any snow or ice. Check the pick and adze for any signs of damage. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Make sure to attach the leash FIX securely before using the ice axe to avoid dropping it. Also, choose the right size according to your height and the type of climbing you'll be doing.
