Akila Adze Ice Axe Everyday Rain-Ready: Comes with a rainThe Akila Adze is Blue Ice's most technical Type 1 B ice axe and the one that deliberately blurs the line between a mountaineering axe and a technical tool. The curved shaft is the defining difference from a conventional walking axe: it positions the hand correctly for piolet traction on moderate ice, prevents knuckles from contacting the ice surface when swinging, and keeps the tool usable on steep terrain where a straight shaft becomes a liability.
