Blue Ice Hummingbird Ice Axe

The species known as Anna's Hummingbird is a tiny bird indigenous to the Pacific coast of the United States, and measures only 4 inches long from beak to tail. These hummingbirds must remain light and small enough to maneuver the delicate aerial world that they inhabit, yet tough enough and fit enough to tirelessly seek out the pollen-laden flowers they need to survive. Just like our feisty little bird friends, the Blue Ice Hummingbird ice axe provides maximum performance at a minimal weight. On one end, a resin-secured titanium head makes for a comfortable and non-glove-damaging grip, while on the other a textured shaft provides low-friction security at a minimal weight. Whether you're plunging up chutes, nosing out onto that 50° slope, or delicately traversing a 4th class scramble, the Blue Ice Hummingbird ice axe will inspire confidence and provide the security you need for all your steep-skiing shenanigans.

• The Hummingbird fully conforms to the CE / EN 13 089 ice axe certification standard.
• A resin plug at the base of the shaft stops snow build-up before it even happens.
• The titanium head holds well and remains light as a feather.
• The 50cm option conforms with ISMF regulations.
• Includes an elastic pick and adze protector.
• Made in Chamonix, France.
