The Salewa Alpine-Tec Hammer is a lightweight hybrid ice axe for use in steep mountain climbing, even on more technical routes. It is ideal for snowy gullies and steep slopes.

It is slightly more curved and shorter than the Alpine-X and has a sharp, aggressive 3 mm thick steel blade. The minimalist hand rest can be adjusted without tools. The ergonomically shaped pick head fits comfortably in the hand and is particularly comfortable during ascents and descents when the ice axe is used for support.

Its strong, aggressive steel blade is ideal for use on steep alpine slopes or glacier walls. A sharpened, replaceable carbide pick tip at the end of the shaft ensures a good grip when crossing old snow or ice.
