CAMP Zenith Tech Ice Axe
When we speak of perfection, we often turn to lofty metaphors such as 'the peak or pinnacle of performance.' Not to be semantically outdone, the zenith represents the highest point of the celestial sphere, as near to perfection as can be. Aptly named, CAMP's Zenith Tech Ice Axe is a specimen of beauty sitting proudly atop its class in performance and features, and at a winning weight. Transcending the best-in-class Zenith platform, the Zenith Tech features a more aggressive, reverse-curve pick, which is interchangeable with the standard Zenith pick to provide an optimal balance of performance, lightness, and flexibility on technical terrain. The forged Zenith Tech pick is tapered for more aggressive performance on hard snow and alpine ice, and its curvature perfectly complements the single-curve shaft for exceptional ergonomics, stability, and balance. The Trigger Fast Lock pommel can be positioned quickly and easily anywhere along the shaft and adjusted without tools. Available in two lengths and with either a forged hammer or adze option, the CAMP's Zenith Tech Ice Axe truly sits atop the sphere of alpine ascent offerings.
