The Alpine-Tec Hammer is a lightweight, hybrid ice axe designed for general to more technical mountaineering in steeper environments. It is ideal for winter hiking or steep slopes.

It is slightly more curved and shorter than the straight shaft of the Alpine-X and features:

• Sharp, aggressive 3 mm blade
• Minimalist hand support that adjusts without tools
• Ergonomic head for comfortable carrying

The strong, aggressive steel blade provides improved penetration in steep alpine slopes or for work on glaciers. It also features a sharp, replaceable carbide tip at the bottom of the shaft for better contact with hard snow or ice.

This version includes a hammer.
