Description
The Akila is the first Type B ice axe to achieve such a high technical level in the ultralight category. The ergonomic shape of the chromoly steel head was specially designed for use as an anchor in a wide range of conditions. Its adze is wide enough to quickly clear snow and place an ice screw. The Akila is rather short (49 cm), ultralight (330 g) and compact, making it easy to fit into a backpack.
It is an ideal tool for climbing and skiing when you want to move fast and light with a very functional and robust ice axe.
- Ergonomic chromoly steel head
- Curved shaft made of anodized, sandblasted aircraft aluminum
- Handle with two surface textures
- Protective caps for pick, adze and spike included
- Adjustable finger rest included
- Weight: 330 g (49 cm)
- Complies with CE/EN 13089 ice axe certification
- Designed and assembled in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
- Ideal for mountaineering, ski touring and high-alpine skiing
- PPE: No returns possible
