Petzl Glacier 60 cm Ice Axe
Petzl Glacier 60 cm Ice Axe - Light Blue is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
DESCRIPTION
The Petzl Glacier is a classic ice axe with a straight shaft, designed for glacier hiking and high altitudes where snow can be firm or icy. With a length of 60 cm, it represents a versatile size suitable for a wide range of heights and moderately sloped terrain.
Construction and Materials
The head is made with a stainless steel spike and adze: the spike ensures reliable grip for self-arrests on hard snow, while the adze is sharpened at the end to effectively cut into compact ice. The slightly curved profile of the head is designed to adapt to the natural geometry of the palm, improving grip when used as a walking axe on snowy terrain. The straight shaft made of light alloy helps to keep the overall weight down, making it a suitable choice for long approaches and glacier traverses.
Use and Compatibility
- Ideal for high-altitude hiking and glacier traverses on packed snow or superficial ice
- 60 cm length recommended for individuals approximately between 165 and 175 cm tall
- Compatible with Petzl leashes to increase retention security in case of a slip
- CE EN 13089 certification for Type B ice axes (basic/classic use)
The Glacier is the correct choice when the terrain does not require ice climbing techniques, but progression on consolidated snow demands a more reliable tool than a simple trekking pole.
