Blue Ice Akila Hammer Ice Axe - Lightweight Technical Piolet (49cm)

The Blue Ice Akila Hammer Ice Axe is a lightweight technical piolet for modern alpinism, steep skiing and technical mountaineering. It weighs 345g in the 49cm length, and the hammer head means you can place protection without carrying a separate tool.

The chromoly steel head is shaped for technical use, the curved aircraft-grade aluminium shaft improves clearance on steeper ground, and the dual-textured grip stays put in gloves or the wet. Choose the Akila Hammer when your alpine routes involve steep snow and mixed ground where you'll be placing protection as well as climbing.
