Corsa Ice Axe by CAMP Reviews
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Light as a feather, By This review is from: Corsa Ice Axe by CAMP (Misc.) I purchased this as my second ice axe after seeking a lighter tool than my Black Diamond Raven for light mountaineering and scrambling in the Cascades.Pros: -Very light weight- the aluminum construction is light enough that I always bring my axe on my trips `just in case' it's needed -Sharp pick (with a small protective cover included) -Perfectly capable as a primary axe for all mountaineering destinations in the Lower 48 states Cons: -No spike. Instead, the shaft is cut at an angle to provide a pointed end, but it can become a snow trap and cannot easily penetrate hard ice. -The adze is rounded which makes chopping ice more difficult -Less comfortable for holding between fingers than the Black Diamon Ravens -The lightweight nature requires extra care when using the axe as an anchor or self arrest. Overall, this is a solid axe if you're primarily optimizing for weight.  Lightest Ice Axe Ever!, By s.5 "spenceronehalf" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Corsa Ice Axe by CAMP (Misc.) This is the lightest ice axe I've ever seen, felt, used, or heard about. Sure, it's not as useful as a standard ice axe (snow gets lodged in the bottom, e.g.), but it RULES for backpacking given its light weight. Oh yeah! |
