Tica Ice Tool by Suluk 46

  Ships in 1-2 business days | Based in Toronto, ON | Est. 2008 The Tica Ice Tool is the lightest way to cross high-country snow fields. It was inspired by traditional hill walking axes, but built with modern ultralight materials. It provides more stability on low-angle snowy terrain than trekking poles at a fraction of the weight of a certified ice axe. The tool was developed in the Backpackinglight forums and is built in Toronto, Canada. Note: The TiCa Ice Tool is not a replacement for a UIAA-certified ice axe on technical terrain and should not be used where life or safety is at risk. A solid option for thru-hikers where there’s not much technical terrain, but where a basic self-arrest might still be needed. _______________________________________________ Specs Dimensions: 60cm or 65cm | 152" or 165" Weight:  60 cm: 4.65oz | 132g 65 cm: 4.8oz | 136g Materials:  Head and spike: Titanium Shaft: Carbon fiber Made in Canada ***Discounts are not available on the TiCa Ice Tool.
