The Ride Ice Axe is a compact ultralight tool designed for ski mountaineering and glacial travel. It features a steel head for full-size performance in a 45 cm length. The 3 mm tapered pick provides secure bites in hard snow and ice. A curved shaft and machined grip enhance handling and control. The beveled spike allows safe, clean storage inside a pack. The ice axe weighs 8.5 oz, making it light enough for long approaches.
