Product description

• Forged chromoly steel head
• Ergonomic head design for a comfortable grip
• Asymmetric steel spike plunges smoothly

For rugged alpine terrain, this T-rated ice axe has few peers. The unique forged chromoly
steel head delivers superior strength and durability. A refi ned pick provides excellent
performance both when swinging into ice and during a self arrest. The curve and arc of the
adze have been optimized for maximum cutting performance, a feature greatly appreciated
when chopping a platform. In addition, the sculpted head with the thermoplastic cap
creates a comfortable hand grip when using the axe as a cane.

Hi Dimitris, The right length of an axe depends on a few factors but most go with personal feel or the rough rule of thumb that the spike should rest roughly above the ankle when the axe is held by the head and the arm by the side.
I'd be of the opinion that for someone of 1,75m tall that 57cm would be the best option.
Best regards!
