Mountaineering ice axe Firn Guide

The FIRN GUIDE is a technical ice axe designed for challenging high mountain excursions and classic mountaineering. The slightly curved anodized aluminium shaft is particularly robust and light, featuring an ergonomic shape and a sanded surface. The bottom of the shaft has a grooved texture for extra grip. The sharp stainless steel blade allows for precise positioning, and its ergonomic head provides a comfortable hold when used as a support axe. The I-profile of the blade ensures great torsion resistance while keeping the weight low. The aggressive-shaped sharp pick offers plenty of power and makes it easier to cut steps or dig for a deadman anchor. The centre of the pick is perpendicular to the straight part of the shaft, allowing for a more effective strike. The large hole on the blade allows easy attachment of large carabiners.

• Hardened steel tip with an opening for attaching a carabiner
• Lightweight due to the aluminium shaft
• Ergonomic head shape: fits perfectly in the hand for good control
• The centre of the pick is perpendicular to the straight part of the shaft for a more effective strike
• Hole on the head also suitable for large carabiners
• All traction ice axes Edelrid, as well as the REVOLT and RIOT, have the same shaft profile to ensure compatibility of the support wedge (modularity)
• Blade tapered from 4 mm to 3 mm for better positioning in the ice
• I-profile blade for better stability and greater ergonomics
• Blade and pick made of stainless steel
• Optimized grip thanks to the sanded and anodized shaft, grooved texture on the lower part of the shaft for an even better hold (e.g. during striking)
