CAMP Corsa Alpine 45 cm

This description has been machine translated from the original text.

The story of the C.A.M.P. brand is the story of the evolution of the ice axe. The first one was forged by Antonio Codega in his father's workshop in Premana in 1920, then Cassin, Lowe and Kukuczka entered the story and the result is that today some of the lightest axes in the world are made in Premana. The Corsa Alpine is one of them. The ultralight aluminium top is cut by local blacksmiths to prevent the axe from slipping out of your hand. They then embedded a durable steel head with laser-cut holes in the shaft, and these helped bring the weight of the whole axe down to 265 grams (55 cm in length). Which, to give you an idea, is the weight of three Dyon Expresses

But if you don't want this Premana gem to inadvertently disappear in, say, a glacial crevasse, you'd better get a strap. This fits it beautifully.

Other features:

• The clipped top acts as a spike.
• The nylon plug prevents snow from getting into the top.
• The 3 mm taper of the tip makes it easier to penetrate hard snow and ice.
• A special small hole in the head is used to connect to the Corsa Leash.
• The cap has enough strength to serve as an anchor during rescue.
• It complies with EN 13089 certification (type 1).
• Use: glacier hiking, mountaineering, ski mountaineering.
