DMM Spire Ice Axe - Lightweight Walking & Ski Touring Axe (55-75cm)

The DMM Spire is a lightweight ice axe for mountain travel: tough enough for modern winter mountaineering and light enough to carry all day on hillwalks and ski tours. It's certified to EN 13089 Type 1 and comes in four lengths from 55cm to 75cm.

A high-strength steel pick and adze with machined chamfers bite into ice and neve and cut steps when you need them, while the anodised aluminium shaft keeps the weight down to 352-409g depending on length. The ergonomic head and bung give a secure grip, the spike penetrates both hard and soft snow, and large tethering points at the head and spike make it easy to clip a leash or secure the axe.
