CAMP Corsa - ultralight ice axe for hiking and ski mountaineering

Efficient movement with a lightweight mountaineering ice axe

Designed for rapid alpine ascents and safe glacier navigation, this tool provides the structural integrity required for self-arrest and secure travel. Its minimal mass reduces carry burden, allowing for faster transitions during demanding mountain objectives.

Technical construction and head design

The head and pick are precision-manufactured from 7075 aluminum to achieve an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The shaft utilizes the same high-grade alloy with a 1.3 mm wall thickness, incorporating a dedicated Nylon insert to prevent internal snow build-up during use.

Materials and structural integrity

The ice axe is built for performance in environments where weight is critical. The use of 7075 aluminum throughout the shaft and head ensures that the tool remains robust while maintaining a featherweight profile, making it a reliable choice for technical mountaineers.

Handling and on-route practicality

The lower section of the shaft features a textured grip to improve control when wearing gloves in cold conditions. For added security on exposed terrain, the head is equipped with a prepared slot compatible with the Corsa leash, facilitating secure retention during ski mountaineering transitions.

Recommended use

This tool is ideal for alpine hikers, ski mountaineers, and glacier travelers who prioritize minimal weight without compromising essential performance. It is specifically suited for fast-paced travel where every gram counts.
