The Corsa Nanotech is the most advanced superlight mountaineering ice axe on the market.
It merges the hyperlight properties of an aluminium construction with a Sandvik Nanoflex steel reinforced tip and spike for a solid grip on hard snow and ice (Sandvik Nanoflex® is an innovative patented steel alloy that is 70% stronger and 20% harder than normal steel which allows for a significant reduction in the amount of metal used, thereby decreasing weight while maintaining strength). These steel components dramatically increase the performance of these critical points without significantly increasing the weight of the axe.
The single-curve shaft provides extra clearance without interfering with walking or plunging performance and the aluminum alloy construction is lightweight, but still rated in accordance with EN 13089 Type 1 for use as a snow anchor and self-arrest.
- A technical version of the Corsa with a single-curve shaft and Sandvik Nanoflex steel reinforced tip and spike for a solid grip on hard snow and ice.
- Designed for glacier travel and ski mountaineering.
- Nylon spike plug keeps snow out of the shaft.
- Small head slot for attaching a leash (not included).
- Machined grip for good handling.
NB Not suitable for use on vertical ice, mixed terrain or for intense step cutting.
We do not stock the 70cm version but could probably obtain one if required.
