How to Choose an Ice Axe

An ice axe is perhaps one of the most useful and essential tools that a skier or mountaineer should have in their list. If you are buying the first ice axe for your adventure, you need to consider the type and level of your skiing activity that your axe can support. There are various activities in which ice axes are used for summiting snow covered peaks and rocks such as classic mountaineering, scrambling, and hiking, ice climbing and skiing. Hence, choosing the right Salewa Ice Axe is important if you want to make the most out of this tool.

Choosing the Right Length of Ice Axe

Grivel Ice Axe sizes come in many sizes; you should choose the right length of the ice axe that suits your needs. The best tip to find the right ice axe size is to hold the axe while standing in an upright position by your side and measure the distance from your thumb to your ankle. Generally, shorter lengths of ice axes are more comfortable to use to penetrate a wall of ice.

Material of Ice Axe

The ice axe head made of strong steel alloy is a better choice. However, you can pick the aluminium head ice axe if you are going to use it on average snow areas. Next, check the pick of the Black Diamond Ice Axe. Mostly the pick of ice axes has a classic curve. You can buy ice axes from Black Diamond, Salewa,Grivel, and Climbing Technology.
