Buyers Guide - How to choose an Ice Axe

An ice axe is an essential piece of kit to carry in the winter hills and mountains. Its job is to help reduce the chance of slips and trips while crossing snow and ice, provide security on steep ground and to aid the arrest of a fall. However, it can’t do this by itself. There is no point in carrying an ice axe if you have no clue how to use one. Make sure you get proper instruction and lots of practice before relying on your skills out in the winter hills – it might just save your life.


- Do I need an ice axe?

- Why are there so many different types?
- What do the different ratings mean?
- Do I need a curved or a straight shaft?
- What length do I need?
- Why are there so many different leash options?
- How do I maintain my ice axe?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Little rubber gizmo’s are available to protect the tips of your pick and spike from damage, or more importantly, stopping them from poking through your expensive rucksack and clothing.

Practicing how to strap your tools onto your pack while wearing gloves is time well spent.
