Light on the Up
The Camp USA Corsa Ice Axe only weighs half a pound so you can use it on the snow then forget about it when it’s strapped to your pack on the trail. It’s a traditional ice axe with a straight shaft and an alloy pick certified for glacial traverses, bootpacking steep chutes, self arrests, and making snow anchors. Camp USA makes it clear that this axe is not suitable for vertical ice, mixed terrain, and even intense step chipping.
