Features
Ultra-light and very compact, the ride ice axe goes everywhere with you for ski touring or glacier travel, without weighing you down. Solid placements thanks to the all-steel head, a pick tapered to 3 mm and a bent shaft.

- Certification(s): CE, UIAA

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Ride Ice Axe 45cm
Will this ice axe work for the type of climbing I'm planning to do?
This 45 cm Ride ice axe is intended for ski touring and glacier travel, with an all-steel head, 3 mm tapered pick, and curved shaft. Its compact, ultra-light 250 g build lets you carry it inside your pack without adding much weight.
Is this better for steep ice, mixed rock and ice, or general mountaineering?
This ice axe is intended for ski touring and glacier travel, where its all-steel head and tapered pick deliver solid, classic-axe placement performance. It is not suited for steep ice or technical mixed rock-and-ice climbing, where a more aggressive, dedicated technical tool is required.
Will this axe tire out my arm, or is it balanced well enough for all-day use?
This ice axe weighs 250 g and is built to be ultra-light. That low weight helps you keep pack weight down for ski touring and glacier travel.
Does the head design let me get solid placements without struggling?
The all-steel head, 3 mm tapered pick, and curved shaft are built for solid placements and good ice penetration. The machined grip supports controlled handling when you are placing the axe during ski touring or glacier travel.
Are there any accessories or replacements I should have on hand for my trips?
This ice axe is compatible with pick and spike protection protectors and the link in leash accessory. These accessories help protect your pick and spike from damage and give you a leash option for added security on your trips.
