FIRN GUIDE

The FIRN GUIDE is a technical mountaineering axe for demanding high mountain tours and classic mountaineering. The slightly curved shaft made from robust, light, anodized aluminum has an ergonomic shape and a sandblasted finish. The ridges in the lower section of the shaft offer even greater grip. The pointed, stainless steel pick can be precisely placed and is easy to hold when using the ice axe for support thanks to its ergonomically shaped head. The I-profile of the pick provides good torsional strength at a low weight. The aggressively shaped, sharp adze offers plenty of power and makes it easier to cut steps or dig T-slot anchors. The middle of the adze is at a right angle to the straight shaft section, further increasing the impact when striking. The large cut-out on the pick is designed to effortlessly hold even large carabiners.
