Best-in-Class Tools for Best-in-Class Climbers -

The Bandit Technical Ice Climbing Axe is a sturdy, durable, and reliable tool that gets you where you need to go. From the east to the west, to the alps and beyond, you can trust this axe at every pitch. Tie on your ropes to the sturdy steel head or sharp stability spike at the bottom.  The grip's classic design provides secure, ergonomic control for technical climbing, allows for easier hand-swapping on steep ice, and prevents the hand from sliding down the shaft, enhancing comfort and leverage. Choose to include a snow breaker (adze) on the head to increase versatility and suit your route.

The head shape is designed so that it can be jammed into cracks and provide support for climbing in soft snow as well as ice. The weight of the head is concentrated in the trajectory of the swing making penetration into hard ice as easy as possible. You can connect a carabiner to the head or hang the ice axe on a porter. The ergonomically shaped handle is made of dual-density hard plastic for thermal insulation and safe grip. The grip guard protects fingers against injury and from getting wet and also enables leashless climbing.
