Skylotec Astra W. Drag Tour ice axe alpine shovel

The Astra - W Drag-Tour by Skylotec is a lightweight and durable ice axe designed for glacier hiking and classic mountaineering, complete with the classic Drag-Tour leash for superior safety during progression. This technical tool features an ergonomic stainless steel head with a hand rest and a reduced thickness central section, details that ensure an optimal and comfortable grip both during ascent and descent. The serrated blade has been specifically lightened to enhance balance and ensure excellent penetration in hard snow, while the rear shovel allows for effective step cutting on icy slopes. The straight handle, made of anodized lightweight alloy to prevent oxidation, has a rough finish at the end to improve grip and a practical pictogram indicating the ideal connection point for use as an anchor or deadman. Thanks to the innovative bonded assembly technology, the structure is extremely lightweight and waterproof, completed by a stainless steel tip with a hole for passing carabiners or slings. Available in lengths of 50, 60, and 70 cm, this version with included leash represents the ultimate solution for the mountaineer seeking protection, stability, and high-quality materials for their high-altitude traverses.
