Omega Pacific Shadow Peak Ice Axe Ice Tools

Omega Pacific Shadow Peak Ice Axe Ice Tools 

DESCRIPTION

Get arrested, self-arrested, that is with this tough, classically-styled mountaineering ice axe. Stainless steel head is tough, durable and won't rust; pick is ground with a negative clearance to aid in self arrest. Spike is made from high-carbon steel to resist wear and the aluminum alloy shaft is light in weight yet strong. Head and spike are securely attached with glue and rivets for strength. Beveled edges at pick and adze allow efficient penetration and removal. Closeout.

Great classically designed ice axe. This is the same as the Omega Mountain Axe, but due to some cosmetic blemishes in the cast stainless steel head was sold through REI under the Shadow Peak name as a closeout. Shaft is a bit larger diameter than Grivel axes, but smaller than REI's axe. Unfortunately I don't see this axe listed on the outlet web site anymore. Omega has also changed their mountain axe design... the head is now made from welded/formed sheetmetal. I prefer cast since it tends to have less sharp edges.
