About this item

  • HIGH QUALITY: The GLACIER LITERIDE's high-quality steel pick is identical to technical ice axe picks. The pick is designed to make cutting steps, anchoring, and penetrating hard snow easy. The anodized aluminum handle resists rusting.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT: Weighing in at only 320 grams, the GLACIER LITERIDE won't weigh you down on long treks and climbs.
  • COMPACT: The GLACIER LITERIDE is only 50 cm in length, allowing for easy transportation when attached to your pack.
  • EASY TO USE: This ice axe features a handle cut into the shaft that provides you better grip when technical ice climbing. Additionally, the upper part of the pick offers excellent grip and serves as a comfortable support surface.
  • EXTRAS: Both the head and spike of the GLACIER LITERIDE are equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling.

50cm length is a little short for a hiking axe but an excellent compromise of weight versus utility. The pick works great for moderate ice/snow. The pick drives well in firm snow. All in all, a fantastic product that offers a level of security at a limited weight penalty.

Spedizione rapida, picozza leggera e per nulla ingombrante... Non ancora provata su pendii molto ripidi, ma fino ad ora sono soddisfatto

Piolet ligero pero suficientemente consistente para hacer esqui de travesía.

I bought this because it's beautiful (blue is my favorite color), and it was lightweight. I highly recommend measuring that this will be the right size for you before buying. I am about 5 foot 5 inches, and this was way too short and not functional for me, so I had to replace it.Not hating on the quality or product at all, just want to caution people to pay attention to size so you don't end up having to purchase something new :)

This axe just feels better than other axes.The balance is perfect, the spike is extra sharp, and the teeth are grippy. You pick it up and you want to swing. It weighs next to nothing, but it hits snow hard.This is by far the best ice axe I've tried in it's price range. If you're looking for a smallish ice axe, get this one.

Great axe for alpine hikes. This axe is the exact same as the longer, heavier axes, but the shaft is shorter. I wouldn't consider this for a multi-day expedition, but I don't use it for that. If I had been more experienced and known better what I would have been using it for, I would have gone with the , since this is really just good insurance to have on some slopes on the types of hikes that I do where the majority is on soft snow where you wouldn't necessarily need to self arrest to stop a slide. The lighter the gear is, the less I hesitate to cut it from my pack.That said, know your terrain. The Camp Corsa Nanotech has been noted to be more difficult to chop steps into ice with due to it's light weight, but since I rarely end up chopping steps I would have spent the extra money on that axe and savored the weight savings.So this would be a toss up depending on the terrain. You want a great axe that is slightly heavier, a wallet that is slightly heavier, and the ability to chop steps into icy surfaces? This is the axe for you. If you don't see yourself using the axe for more than the occasional insurance against a nasty slide and don't mind paying a little more for 3 oz, then go with the Camp.

On a five day summer glacier traverse my buddies were jealous that my axe was so light! It is quite short, so you can't easily use it as a walking stick like most do for climbing. But I feel that once it is steep enough to really need it, then the length is good. I love that it is small and light, cause there is a ton of time that you are not using it.
