Petzl Glacier Literide Ice Axe - 50cm Lightweight Mountaineering Tool for Climbing, Hiking & Glacier Travel | Perfect for Alpine Adventures & Winter Expeditions

Description

• Compact: measuring 50 cm, the GLACIER LITERIDE is as compact as it is light, and therefore easily transportable on a pack.
• Lightness and comfort:
  - the upper part of the pick offers excellent grip (comfortable supporting surface)
  - the pick and the shaft are lighter, yet extremely robust
• Very good anchoring qualities in hard snow and ice, thanks to:
  - the profile of the pick, for sure and stable anchoring
  - the toothed steel pick, thinner at the tip (3 mm)
  - the stainless steel spike, for very good penetration in hard snow
• High strength and practical aspects:
  - high-quality steel pick (identical to picks of technical ice axes)
  - very strong steel adze with an edge designed for efficient cutting of steps
  - head and spike equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling
  - high-quality aluminum shaft (aluminum 7075, used in aeronautics), with anodized finish for excellent rust protection
  - handle cut into the shaft provides better grip when used for technical ice climbing
