X-Alp Hammer

Description

Interchangeable grips, picks, and heads.
Superb balance for a natural swing.
Single-density handgrip for optimal plunging and durability.
Includes X-Alp padded leash.

The X-Alp is built with the same lightweight design as the X-All Mountain, but features a less radical curve in the shaft to make it more versatile on lower-angled terrain. The X-Alp comes with a durable single-density hand grip that will hold up to whacking crampons in sticky snow. The smaller pinky ledge and long steel spike make plunging easier and the contoured adze offers a comfortable grip when using the tool as a cane.

Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.
