Ronin Ice Axe - Alpine Climbing Hardware

Description

The Edelrid Ronin Ice Axe is a versatile, lightweight mountain tool engineered for general glacier travel, winter walking, and classic alpine routes. Designed with an ergonomic 21° curved tubular shaft, the Ronin provides optimal clearance over steep snowpack and bulges, making daggering up technical ascents both natural and efficient. Whether you are embarking on winter mountaineering trips across New Zealand's Southern Alps or tackling technical snow gullies and frozen ridges in the Main Range, this axe offers exceptional balance and reliable placement.

Crafted with a durable, hardened steel pick and a wide integrated adze, the Ronin makes quick work of chopping steps, carving out belay stances, or clearing ice. The steel spike at the base features a dedicated attachment point for clipping a carabiner, while the shaft end includes a secondary opening for threading a tether or sling. Complete with an included Alpine leash and compatible with a modular finger rest, this axe delivers high versatility across variable winter terrain.

Reliable, nimble, and built to handle hard snow and icy slopes, the Edelrid Ronin is a classic choice for winter trekkers, ski tourers, and mountaineers.
