Alpine ice axe for ALPINISM, ICE CLIMBING

• A superlight and versatile tool for the technical alpinist
• Hot-forged aluminum alloy head allows for 3 configurations: pick & adze, pick & hammer, pick only
• T-rated chromoly steel pick and T-rated 7075-T6 aluminum alloy shaft (CE-UIAA type 2)
• Stainless steel adze and hammer
• Removable X-Alp grip has a soft hand for good grip and can be swapped with the X-Dry grip and spike for leashless climbing
• Interchangeable steel spike
• X-Trigger Fast pommel is adjustable without tools
• Carabiner holes at the head and spike

 

The newest addition to the CASSIN X-Team, the X-Light features the same sleek designs and quality forged components as the popular X-Dream, but with a shaft that makes it the most suitable axe for low-angle terrain typical of light and fast technical ascents. Three different head configurations (pick & adze, pick & hammer, pick only) allow the tool to be optimized for the objective. The single-curve shaft is optimized with the angle of the pick for solid performance on technical ice and for use as a cane. Carabiner holes at the head and spike accommodate traditional leashes or lanyards. For steep ice climbing, it is possible to change the standard X-Alp grip with the X-Dry grip and spike. The X-Trigger Fast pommel (included) is adjustable without tools. 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 prevent 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.
