Blue Ice Falk

The joy of ski touring is in travelling off the beaten track in the high mountains, reaching a summit or col then enjoying the descent that follows. Super light gear makes the uphills easier and the descent freer. For this objective you can't go wrong with the Falk from Blue ice. A great entry-level ice axe for ski mountaineers or classic touring skiers with a very good price to performance ratio, light but function has not been sacrificed to make weight savings.
The Falk is built with the latest materials, a chromoly steel alloy head which is durable and dependable and tough enough to pierce ice effectively, smashing in anchors and cutting steps but with an aircraft-grade anodized, sandblasted aluminum curved shaft making it light yet strong. For alpine rocking climbing and ski-mountaineering applications, buying an axe that is short enough that it can go inside your pack is also pretty sweet. When it's packed away inside your pack, it won't get snagged or hung up while rock climbing nor will it interfere with attaching your skis to your pack. Plus a shorter axe is lighter than a longer one.
In short the Falk is a high achieving, forget it ‘til you need it, high mileage ski mountaineering axe, or pack it anytime you are unsure if you will need an axe or not.
