Available from Cripple Creek Backcountry when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The Akila is the first B/Type 1 ice axe to achieve such high level of technicality in the ultralight category. The shape of its chromoly steel ergonomic head is studied for optimal anchoring regardless of the surface. Its adze provides a wide enough blade to quickly clear snow to place your ice screw. Its casted hammer offers a fitting surface to hit pitons in all terrains. The Akila is quite short (49cm), ultralight (330g) and compact to be easily stored inside a backpack. It is the ideal tool
