Salewa Alpine-X Ice Axe

Very ergonomic

Pros
Ergonomic design
Still pretty lightweight
Decent spike
Cons
Not curved, so not ideal for climbing steep snow
Familiarity
I’ve used it a few of times

See the pros and cons. Bought after a 1 day self arrest class, I realized I would be way better off trying to arrest with this versus the Petzl Ride or any axe with a too wide connection between the shaft and head.
