Salewa AlpineTec Hammer

Alpine-Tec Hammer

Lightweight hybrid ice axe with a sharp, aggressive blade and minimalist hand rest for general to technical ski mountaineering on steep ascents - ideal for snowy gullies and technical steeps.

Standards: EN 13089, B UIAA 152

Features:

• Lies particularly comfortably in the hand thanks to an ergonomically shaped head
• Sharp, aggressive 3 mm blade for reliable penetration in ice and snow
• Good anchoring thanks to balanced weight distribution with center of gravity in the investment-cast steel head
• Minimalist, ergonomic hand rest - adjustable without tools
• Upper shaft slightly curved for better range of motion and for good penetration in the snow on steeper terrain
• Robust, sharp (replaceable) carbide tip at the bottom for better grip on hard snow or ice.
