Salewa Alpine X Ice Axe – tested and reviewed

Overall, I found the Salewa Ice Axe was a great ice axe to use for mountaineering out in the Alps, and has made a big difference to the weight of my kit when out on routes. Whilst I’ll still be keeping hold of my trusted old axes for Scottish winter, the Salewa Alpine-X does what it says on the shaft and is a great piece of kit to try and save precious weight.
