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.
