Alpine ice axe for ALPINISM, ICE CLIMBING
• New handle for Winter 2017
• A lightweight, versatile tool for the technical alpinist
• Hot-forged aluminum alloy head allows for 2 configurations: adze and hammer
• T-rated chromoly steel pick and T-rated 7075-T6 aluminum alloy shaft (CE-UIAA type 2)
• 3 part handle can be optimized for different conditions
• Interchangeable steel spike has a hole large enough to clip a carabiner for use with lanyards
 

The X-Light takes the same quality forged components and profiled geometries as the X-Dream and X-All Mountain tools, but simplifies the shaft to make it the most suitable axe for low-angle terrain typical of light and fast technical ascents. Two different head configurations (adze and hammer) allow the tool to be perfectly optimized for the objective. The single-curve shaft is optimized with the angle of the pick for solid performance on alpine ice and for use as a cane. Carabiner holes at the head and spike accommodate traditional leashes or lanyards. The new 3 part handle can be assembled in the precise way that fits the terrain being climbed with an upper pommel that can be repositioned without tools. It also increases mechanical resistance to the specific stresses on each part of the handle. The hammer and adze components have been shaped for a comfortable grip and the pick does not have teeth near the shaft to further increase comfort and help limit wear and tear on gloves.

When we talk about axes, our thoughts go back to the early days of the 20th century, when the first products intended for Italian alpine troops were produced in C.A.M.P.'s forge shop. Or let's think about Antonio Codega, the son of the founder, who used to catch the train to Milan in order to personally deliver the products ordered by the first sport stores. A long time has passed and many changes have taken place, but the innovative spirit and the attention to the development of products are still the same.
That's why, after more than a century, some products, such as the Corsa Nanotech axe, are not only part of the equipment of the most enthusiastic alpinists. Because of their unique features they cross the boundaries of the outdoor market, reaching the exhibition spaces of some Museums of Technology or being mentioned by some of the most influential mass media, such as the New York Times. Under our CAMP and CASSIN brands we are offering a wide range of products for every kind of outdoor activity, which satisfy the needs and requirements of ever more demanding and variegated customers.
