EdelridDrift - Ice Axe

The Edelrid Drift is the ideal ice axe for adventurers seeking lightness in the mountains. With a featherweight of only 250 g, it remains unobtrusive during your ski tours or other expeditions where safety requires the presence of an ice axe without the need for constant handling. Its compact size of 45 cm allows it to easily slip into a backpack, while its rounded edges protect it from damage during transport.

Designed with a slightly curved anodized aluminum shaft, the Drift offers an ergonomic and comfortable grip, enhanced by a sandblasted surface. For an optimal grip, the lower part of the shaft is equipped with a grooved texture. This attention to detail ensures precise and secure handling, even in the most demanding conditions. Additionally, the tip is protected against snow with an integrated cap.

The 4 mm steel blade and the adze, both lightened with large holes, ensure effective penetration into hard snow or ice. Designed for summit enthusiasts who wish to travel light while being equipped to face the unexpected, this ice axe is your ideal ally for all your alpine adventures.
