The Aztar is a versatile ice tool for mountainnering and icefall climbing. The forged pick is thin and shaped for optimized penetration into hard ice. The shaft, curved at the head allows hooking and comfortable placement. The base of the shaft is straight and has a steel point for easier penetration even in hard snow. A great all round technical axe for Scotland or Chamonix.

Ther is also a lighter version of the Aztar called the Aztarex. See related items below.

The Aztars come with the stronger 'T' rated shaft which is better for torquing and extreme use but the 'B' rated pick. This is because a full 'T' rated pick is thicker and causes the ice to shatter while the thinner 'B' rated picks cuts into the ice better. The axes come supplied with the B rated blueice picks but the stronger T rated Quatro pick is available as a spare if torquing is more your thing. Please see related items below. If you buy the Quatro picks at the same times as the axes, the price of the picks is reduced by 30%
