The Salamandra is the lightest ice tool you can find and EliteClimb is THE FIRST and ONLY producer of certificated climbing axes, made only from composites in the world!!!
Made from hybrid carbon and kevlar composite. It's high strength and low weight, freedom of shape, fatigue endurance, water-resistant, impact resistance, and thermal isolation (no snow or ice on the shaft and warm for the hand).
Salamandra is specially designed for ice climbing and long mountain routes.
- Height 50 cm
- Weight 377g with the included mixt pick (range from 360g to 429g depending on pick selection)
- Compatible with Petzl Masselottes (pick weight of 65g) for adding weight at the head
- Weight is concentrated at the head for a perfect swing; the whole shaft/handles is only 235g
- Spikes are made from composite and contribute to the lightweight of the shaft
- Two holes: on the pick to carry the tool and on the bottom to attach cords
- The shaft is covered with special abrasive paint for a good grip
- Made according to EN 13089 standard for ice axes (type 2 or T rated)
- Handcraft in Poland
Kevlar fibers are impact resistance, low weight reinforcement, and high abrasion resistance.
