The Salewa Alpine-Tec is a lightweight hybrid ice ax for use when mountaineering on steep terrain, including on more technical routes. It is ideal for snowy gorges and steep slopes.
It is slightly more curved, shorter and has a sharp, aggressive 3mm steel blade.
The minimalist hand rest can be adjusted without tools.
The ergonomically shaped pick head fits well in the hand and is particularly comfortable when climbing up and down when the pick serves as a support.
Its strong, aggressive steel blade is ideal for use on steep alpine ice slopes or glacier faces. A sharpened, replaceable carbide pick tip at the end of the shaft ensures good grip when crossing old snow or ice.
