Our Verdict
Petzl’s Ride Ice Axe provides a perfect balance between stability and low weight. Designed specifically to require the minimum amount of effort to carry with you when touring or freeriding through glacial terrain. The steel head has the same performance as a traditional ice axe head, and penetrates ice very well, while the ergonomic shape of the shaft makes for easy & comfortable handling.
The pick is tapered to 3mm for better penetration in ice and the aluminium shaft is a compact 45cm designed to fit inside a pack for improved safety and discretion. Perfect for trips where every gram counts.
