Edelrid Firn

The Firn ice axe from Edelrid is the ideal companion for easy to moderate alpine tours and mountaineering adventures. With its lightweight aluminum shaft and ergonomic design, it offers optimal grip and control. The sandblasted, anodized surface and the additionally textured lower section of the shaft provide even more grip, even under challenging conditions. The sturdy 4 mm steel pick penetrates hard snow and ice effortlessly, while the ergonomically shaped head area ensures comfortable handling.
A distinctive feature of the Firn ice axe is its sturdy blade made of corrosion-resistant steel, which can be used efficiently for cutting steps or digging a T-anchor. The right-angle alignment of the center of the shovel to the shaft increases efficiency when striking. In addition, the shovel features cutouts that reduce the ice axe’s overall weight without compromising stability.
For added flexibility, the recesses at the head of the ice axe provide space for large carabiners, and the steel spike features an opening for clipping a carabiner. All EDELRID ice axes, including the Firn, feature the same shaft profile for finger rest compatibility, ensuring a high degree of modularity.
