Ice Axes & Piolets

The first Basic (Type 1) axe that not only falls into the ultra-lightweight category, but acheives such high ratings as a technical piolet.

The Bluebird ice axe is ideal as a trekking ice axe, simple, robust and no-nonsense for when high altitude or winter walking starts to look suspiciously like mountaineering, and above all it is light , just 356g...but not too light. The most versatile and robust axe in Blue Ice's range, the Bluebird is designed for steep snow or ice slopes.
