Petzl Ride 45 cm is an ultra light, compact ice axe for ski touring and freeriding that adds real security on glacier and steep terrain without weighing down your pack. The hardened steel head with a slim 3 mm pick bites reliably into hard snow and ice, while the slightly curved shaft with a textured grip area provides confident handling on traverses, short steep sections or emergency arrests in exposed ski terrain.
At just 45 cm the Petzl Ride stows easily inside your backpack, reducing the risk of injury compared to tools mounted on the outside and helping protect your gear from sharp edges. Weighing only 240 g and built from durable steel and 7075 aluminium, it is also compatible with Pick And Spike Protection and the Linkin leash, giving you a fully featured ice axe that stays out of the way until the moment you really need it.
