Edelrid Firn

"The Edelrid Firn is the perfect companion for mountaineers and mountaineering enthusiasts who go on easy to medium routes. Its lightweight aluminum shaft ensures a low overall weight and excellent handling. Thanks to the sandblasted and anodized surface, the firn offers a better grip, while the roughened lower part of the shaft further optimizes the grip when hitting. The robust 4 mm pick, made from corrosion-protected steel, penetrates hard snow, firn and ice with ease and is ergonomically shaped to ensure optimum control"
"The Firn's large shovel, also made of steel, is particularly efficient when hitting steps or digging a Tanchor. Its right-angled alignment to the straight shaft section maximizes efficiency when chipping. The clever recess at the head of the ice axe makes it easy to attach large carabiners, which significantly increases the versatility of the Firn. In addition, all Edelrid ice axes, including the Firn, have a uniform shaft profile, which increases the compatibility of the finger rest and modularity."
