CAMP 3608 CORSA ALPINE TECHNICAL MOUNTAINEERING ICE AXE

The CAMP Corsa Alpine model offers extraordinary performance on technical terrain. This is because the brand produces this equipment with a combination of a steel head and a super light aluminium shaft. In particular, this innovative design makes glacier walks and technical mountaineering operations much easier. At the same time, the brand shapes the pick with a profile tapering from 4 millimetres to 3 millimetres.
 
Furthermore, thanks to this tapering construction you drive the axe into ice and snow much more easily. Consequently, you preserve your energy at the maximum level in swinging and removal manoeuvres. A Curved Shaft and a Carbon Steel Spike On the other hand, the equipment has a single curved shaft architecture. In other words, this special angle creates an ergonomic swing feel on steep terrain. What is more, with the machined special grip surface you grip the shaft firmly with gloved hands.
 
The minimal carbon steel spike at the bottom even provides perfect balance in walking cane mode. In this way you instantly find a safe support point for yourself on demanding walks. Apart from this, always keep in mind that the brand definitely does not recommend this model for vertical ice climbing. Accessory Compatibility and Ultra Lightness In addition, there is a small attachment slot at the head of the axe.
 
Indeed, you easily attach the Corsa Leash safety strap to this slot within seconds. Even so, you buy both the safety strap and the Trigger Fast Lock adjustable hand support separately from the equipment. In short, you quickly fix the hand support to the shaft without using any tools. As a result, with this ultra-light EN 13089 Type 1 equipment starting from only 250 grams you successfully complete your ski mountaineering projects.
