The facts at a glance
Salewa North-x Eispickel
"The North-X ice axe from Salewa is an indispensable tool for demanding mountaineers and climbers who move in steep firn fields, mixed or ice terrain and on glacier crossings. Its well thought-out design enables optimum handling: The hand rest, which can be adjusted vertically without tools, offers maximum grip and support when climbing in iceor rock faces. At the same time, it slides upwards when used in steep firn walls to enable energy-saving and efficient progress."
"The ice axe impresses with its aggressive, interchangeable pick and the 20u00b0 thicker shaft, which together ensure excellent swing behavior and precise placement in ice or rock. The grip zone made of insulating plastic protects the hands from cold, which is particularly beneficial on longer tours. The integrated belay sling with a tensile strength of 5 kN is ideal for belaying and self-belaying."
"In addition, the North-X ice axe is equipped with a replaceable carbide tip for better grip on icy surfaces. The ice axe is available in versions with a shovel and hammer and can be customized with accessories such as a pick guard, spike, hand rest and blade"
