Salewa North-x ICE AXE

The North-X ice axe from Salewa is the ideal tool for anyone who moves in challenging alpine terrain. Whether hiking, mountaineering or climbing - this ice axe impresses with its sophisticated design and high-quality materials. The steel head sits comfortably in the hand when used as a support ice axe and the aggressive, replaceable pick ensures a secure grip on ice and rock. The balanced weight distribution and the 20° offset shaft guarantee optimum swing behavior and efficient placement in any terrain.
The height-adjustable hand rest, which can be adjusted with one hand without tools, is particularly practical. It offers perfect grip on steep terrain and slides upwards when penetrating the snow so as not to hinder the construction of belays or as a support ice axe. The belay sling on the shaft with a tensile strength of 5 kN is also suitable for self-arrest. The insulating plastic grip area provides reliable protection against the cold, making the North-X ice axe indispensable, especially on long tours.
The ice axe is equipped with a shovel and a hammer, which underlines its versatility. For even more flexibility, various spare parts and accessories are available, including Pick Guard, Spike for Ice Axe, Handrest for Ice Axe, North-X Blade and Leash. The shaft is made of robust 7075 aluminum, while the replaceable carbide pick tip provides better grip on icy surfaces. The North-X ice axe is unisex and suitable for all mountain enthusiasts who specialize in technical mountaineering.
