Akila Adze

TheAkila Adze is an ice axe from the brand Blue Ice, ideal for mountaineering and ski touring.

With its excellent weight-to-technicality ratio, the ice axe Akila is highly versatile, excelling in mountaineering, ski touring and ice climbing. This Type 1/Bmodel features an ergonomic steel head Chromoly and a contoured handle made of anodised aluminium; this combination of materials explains its exceptional lightness. What’s more, its pick is highly effective at cutting steps in the ice or clearing away snow that accumulates there, whilst its ‘banana’ blade will surprise you with how easily it bites into the ice. Finally, its compact size makes it easy to carry in the interior of a bag.

Fully equipped (with a pick and protective guards), this ice axe Akila is just as at home on steep slopes as it is on mixed terrain, so you’ll need it on all your adventures.
