What is an ice ax?

and the ice ax is a specialized selection ax used in climbing when the conditions are ice or snowy. And the ice ax has a strong metal head with a sharp, angle and shorter Adze, which is often flat and on the other. The handle of the modern axes of ice is made of light, hard material such as aluminum or Kevlar®, and often includes wrist strap. The end of the handle comes to a sharp metal point that can mount a number of purposes. All in all, the ice ax is designed to meet the needs and safety concerns of mountain climbers in high cold places. The choice of ice ax with angles is quite sharply angles, so it is easier to bite into the ice when the climber swings him. The selection angle also causes it to dig into the snow more effectively in the event of a fall, when a climber would use the ice ax as a jam to save. Opposite the selection, the head is generally equal to Adza, a shorter, more flattering blade that can be used to cut hands and support to ice or snow.

The ice ax handle varies depending on its intended purpose. Climbers who scalp clear, ice walls or even frozen waterfalls often prefer shorter handle, only over one leg to length. The short handle allows easy maneuvering and swing and provides lighter ice ax. Climbers who will do more tourism and spend more time upright, often prefer ice ax up to three feet in length. Longer ice ax can be used as a tourist bar and the shaft can be used to explore snow for invisible danger. The end of the handle comes to a sharp metal point, which allows use as an anchor or tool for cutting into ice and snow.

The more extreme the conditions people find, the more specialized the tools they need. The ice ax allows climbers to be clear, icy cornices, climb on snowy peaks and save yourself from slipping from the neat mountain. WITHOf course, they will try to try these dangerous performances, require a professional climber, but without their credible ice ax would not get so far.
