Salewa Alpine-tec Hammer

"A lightweight hybridice axe for your mountaineering use, even on more technical routes"

"The Salewa Alpine-Tec Hammer is a lightweight hybrid-ice axe for use when mountaineering in steep terrain, even on more technical routes. It is ideal for snow-covered gorges and steep slopes."

"It is slightly stronger and shorter than Salewas Alpine-X ice axe and has a sharp, aggressive, 3 mm thick steel blade. The minimalist hand rest can be adjusted without tools. The ergonomically shaped ice axe head sits comfortably in the hand and is particularly comfortable when ascending and descending when the ice axe is used as a pole."

"Its strong, aggressive steel blade is ideal for use on alpine steep slopes or glacier walls. A sharpened, replaceable tungsten carbide pick tip at the end of the shaft ensures good grip when crossing old snow or ice."

"The shape of the hammer is modeled on a screw nut"
