Features
The Blue Ice Akila LT Hammer is a compact, lightweight tool with impressive climbing performance. Developed in collaboration with Teton guides, the LT version features a shortened (to 42cm), diagonally cut shaft that maintains functionality as a spike while improving packability. An additional clip-in point on the shaft allows for optional leash use. With the same trusted pick geometry, chromoly steel pick, and durable aluminum shaft as the original, the Akila LT is built for long-term reliability in demanding alpine environments. The sliding pommel enhances handling on steep snow and short alpine ice sections, which is ideal for technical ski mountaineering routes like the Ford-Stettner on the Grand Teton or Liberty Ridge on Mount Rainier. Designed for technical ski mountaineering objectives, the Akila LT from Blue Ice is a dependable and versatile axe you can count on.
- Chromoly steel pick and aluminum shaft make for a durable and lightweight axe.
- 42 cm shaft is easy to carry in/out of a pack or under your shoulder strap when things get dicey.
- Available in either a hammer or an adze so you can tackle any mission.
- Sliding pommel comes in handy in technical terrain.
- CE/EN 13089 and UIAA 152 certified.
