Petzl Glacier 50 cm Ice Axe
Petzl Glacier 50 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 straight-shaft ice axe designed for glacier trekking and approach mountaineering on moderate snow and ice. With a length of 50 cm, it represents the most versatile size for those tackling mixed terrain between trails and hard snow, ensuring effective control both as a walking stick and a safety tool.
Technical Construction
The head is made with a specially shaped curved geometry to naturally fit the palm of the hand during walking, reducing fatigue during long ascents on slopes. The stainless steel pick and adze, with a sharpened distal edge, ensure effective penetration even on compacted transformed snow and surface ice, making self-arrest quick and safe. The lower spike allows for stable support on snowy terrain when used as a walking stick.
Use and Compatibility
- Ideal for high-altitude trekking and glacier traverses on consolidated snow
- CE certified according to EN 13089 for Type B ice axes (basic use)
- Compatible with Petzl leashes for a more secure grip on descents
- Lightweight construction optimized to reduce backpack weight on extended hikes
The 50 cm Glacier is the correct choice for those moving on gently sloped glaciers or tackling classic snowy slopes, where its function as a walking stick prevails over that of a technical climbing ice axe.
