Salewa North-X Ice Axe - The North-X ice ax is the perfect ice ax for classic north face routes - and therefore all areas of use in technical mountaineering, from steep firn fields to climbing in mixed or ice terrain to Crossing glaciers.
The highlight of the North-X ice ax is the special handle construction: the hand rest, which can be infinitely adjusted in height with one hand and without tools, blocks under pressure and thus offers maximum support when climbing in the ice or rock face. If, on the other hand, you grip the ax by the head and pierce the snow on a steep firn wall, the hand rest slides upwards, so that the mountaineer saves time and energy in gaining height.
Features:- Precision cast steel head feels good in the hand when used as a support ax on ascent and descent

- Balanced weight distribution and 20° offset Shaft guarantee optimal swing behavior and efficient placement
- Hand rest adjustable in height without tools guarantees perfect grip in steep terrain

- Hand rest slips when penetrating the snow at the top and thus does not impede building a stand or using it as a support ax
