WINTER SALE!
Proven over the years, the piolet is the most important tool on the mountain.
Great for chopping steps, building snow anchors or bollards, performing boot/axe belays and, of course, self-arresting. Our axe is built from laser-cut NiCrMo, Tig-welded heads, spikes, and aircraft-quality 6061 T6 aluminum alloy. Built to take a beating, this axe is no beast. However, at under 22 oz., you’ll barely notice when it’s lashed to your pack.
Our lite Mountain Axe, features a lightweight, cast titanium head. Weighing in at 16 oz. (60cm), this axe is signifi cantly lighter than steel, but vastly more durable than aluminum, providing the very best balance for racers, through-hikers and any mountaineer that wants a full-strength piolet without the weight of a steel-headed axe.

The head has an extended beak for tapping ‘heads and the carabiner hole and the butt ring are big enough to accommodate nearly any carabiner out there. Every hammer also comes equipped with our Funkness Device for testing and removing ‘heads and pins. Or, you can use it as a bomber hammer leash.
