Stubai Tour Telescoping Axe | 60-95cm

When alpine climbing demands a reliable tool that won't weigh you down, a quality mountaineering axe becomes essential gear. This telescoping axe from STUBAI combines Austrian engineering with innovative design to deliver a versatile solution for mixed terrain climbing, glacier travel, and steep snow ascents. Designed for climbers who demand performance without sacrificing packability, this tool represents a significant investment in safety and efficiency on high-altitude objectives.

• Telescoping shaft design compresses from full length to compact size for easy transport and storage
• Forged steel head with pick and adze construction optimized for ice, mixed rock, and consolidated snow
• Lightweight aluminum shaft reduces fatigue on long alpine climbs and sustained technical passages
• Ergonomic grip with textured surface maintains control in wet, icy, and gloved conditions
• Reinforced spike at base provides traction and leverage on steep terrain and self-arrest capabilities
• Precision-engineered connections ensure zero play between shaft segments and head assembly
• Balance point engineered specifically for single-handed and two-handed climbing techniques
• Durable finish resists corrosion from salt spray, moisture, and altitude exposure
• Compatible with standard ice axe leashes and carabiner attachment systems

In the field, this axe performs exceptionally across the mixed terrain that defines modern alpinism. Climbers tackle steep snow fields with confident pick penetration, hook challenging mixed sections with a well-designed adze, and maintain security during rest and self-arrest scenarios. The telescoping mechanism extends smoothly under load and locks securely with minimal play, meaning you won't experience frustrating wobbling on vertical ice or loose connections when your weight depends on it. On multi-pitch alpine routes where gear weight compounds over thousands of vertical feet, the light shaft makes a measurable difference in endurance and speed. The pick geometry bites cleanly into both hard water ice and dense alpine snow, while the adze design accommodates both aggressive cutting and delicate precision work on traverses and technical mixed pitches.

This tool suits mountaineers pursuing 4000-meter peaks, alpine ice climbers tackling Scottish winter routes and Alpine classics, and mixed terrain specialists who encounter everything from scree to vertical ice in a single day. Whether you're climbing Mont Blanc, tackling the Matterhorn, or pursuing technical alpine objectives in the Cascades or Rockies, this STUBAI axe delivers the reliability and performance that separates confident climbers from those doubting their gear. Experienced alpinists who understand that tool quality directly impacts safety and success will appreciate the engineering and craftsmanship evident in every detail.
