Great for the avid ski moutaineer, the CAMP USA Corsa Ice Axe is the weight-efficient solution for self arrest, climbing, and anchoring. This super-lightweight package shines in conditions typically encountered by the backcountry snowboarder tackling technical lines.
While useful for climbing, you’ll carry the Corsa Ice Axe primarily for self-arrest. Unlike aggressive axes made of steel, the Corsa is entirely aluminum, making it ultra-light without sacrificing utility. When you’re ready to upgrade and need added peace of mind, look for CAMP USA’s more aggressive prototype, the Camp USA Nanotech, a similar tool which is now available. This new axe is bit more aggressive in that it employs a steel tip and steel shaft end.
