The Petzl Ride is the ice axe you stop making excuses not to bring. At 240 g and 45 cm, it rides inside your pack without adding bulk, and the beveled spike means it won't shred the bag when it does. An all-steel head with a pick tapered to 3 mm gives you honest placements in firm snow and moderate ice, while the curved shaft and machined grip provide positive control whether you're in piolet-canne position or arrested mid-slide. A low-profile adze handles snow clearing without adding weight. This is the axe for ski mountaineers, couloir skiers, and anyone who knows the penalty for leaving it at home.
