Salewa

The Salewa Alpine-X ice axe is a technical climbing tool designed for alpine and mountaineering applications. This model has a length of 53 cm and offers a balanced combination of reach and handling for various terrains. Made from high-strength aluminum alloy, the shaft provides durability while weighing approximately 450 g. The black anodized surface ensures corrosion resistance in harsh mountain environments. The curved shaft design enhances release on steep ice and mixed climbing, while the ergonomic grip zone allows for a secure hold even when wearing gloves. The forged steel head features a durable pick tip with aggressive teeth for reliable penetration into ice and hard snow. The adze is optimized for step cutting and snow clearing tasks. The spike at the base is designed for secure placement in snow and ice, with a rubber tip protector for transport and storage. The leash attachment point allows for secure connection to a climbing harness. This ice axe meets the UIAA 152 safety standards for mountaineering equipment. It is suitable for general mountaineering, glacier tours, and moderate ice climbing routes. The 53 cm length is ideal for climbers between 165 cm and 180 cm in height, although personal preference and specific use should guide the final choice. It is a successor model to previous Salewa alpine ice axes with improved materials and ergonomic refinements. Compatible with standard ice axe carrying systems and climbing harnesses. Manufactured in Salewa's European production facilities with quality control processes for mountaineering equipment.
