CAMP Corsa Race Ice Axe
There are heavy axes, and there are light axes, and then there's the CAMP Corsa Race Ice Axe. The Corsa Race is a hyperlight, skimo-tailored axe that is specifically designed to eliminate extra weight. At 50 cm in length, the Corsa Race has managed to slim down by removing materials in the shaft, getting rid of the shaft plug and machining holes into the bottom of the handle. An added benefit of the machined pattern is improved grip and easier handling. As an ISPO Gold Award winner for 2020, this crazy light axe with a new non-welded head gives the best strength to weight ratio and allows for a more comfortable fit in your hand. Despite weighing in at a minuscule 190 grams, the Corsa Race Ice Axe is not only designed for our competitive racers, but for anyone who wants the lightest gear in the mountains. Hey, lighten up!
