Salewa North-x Hammer ICE AXE

The North-x Hammer ICE AXE by Salewa is an indispensable tool for mountaineers and climbers, specially developed for demanding north face-routes and technical mountaineering tours. Whether for steep ascents in firn fields, mixed or ice climbing or glacier crossings, this ice axe offers maximum functionality and safety. The precision caststeel head sits comfortably in the hand and the aggressive, replaceable pick ensures a secure grip in ice and rock.
Particularly noteworthy is the innovative handle design with a one-handed, tool-free height-adjustable hand rest. This locks when pressure is applied and offers maximum grip on steep terrain, while it slides upwards when used as a support ice axe to enable effortless progress. The 20° offset shaft and balanced weight distribution guarantee optimum swing behavior and efficient placement.
In addition, the insulating plasticgrip zone protects against the cold, which is particularly beneficial on long tours. The belay sling on the shaft, with a tensile strength of 5 kN, is ideal for self-belaying and belay station construction. With the replaceable tungsten carbide ice axe tip and an extensive range of spare parts and accessories, the North-x Hammer ICE AXE is perfectly equipped for all challenges on the mountain. Certified according to CE EN 13089, T, EN 13089 Type 2 and UIAA 152, it meets the highest safety standards.
