The ice axe is the symbol of alpinism, the tool of the alpinist. Because it will be a companion for years to come, price should not be your only criteria for choosing a new ice axe; beauty, utility, durability are important factors. Nothing can be more beautiful than a hand-polished, hot-forged head on an axe made by a company with 184 years of experience.
The Nepal SA Plus ice axe is a great general purpose axe suitable for UK winter walking, easier climbing in gullies, snow slopes, and general Alpinism.
The Carbon steel shaft has a rubber grip, and is slightly curved to give greater purchase when using the pick, and it has a hot forged blade with a classical negative angle on the pick.
The Nepal SA plus comes complete with an adjustable leash and spike protector.
Weight: 480gr.
