The Blue Ice Akila LT Adze is a lightweight ski mountaineering ice axe built for compact mountain setups. At 43 cm and just 290 g, it pairs the technical head of the longer Akila with a shorter shaft designed to fit neatly inside your pack.

Keep the bulk down on the approach, then make use of a purposeful grip when the terrain demands more attention. The integrated tech pommel provides a lightweight trigger rest for grip and control during technical climbs, while the dual-textured grip gives you a defined handling surface.

What activity is the Akila LT Adze for?

Its stated uses are mountaineering and steep-slope skiing. Designed for efficient use as a ski piolet, it suits mountain setups where low weight and packability matter. This is specialist mountain equipment, rather than a general hiking accessory. Select and use it according to the terrain, your skills and the manufacturer's instructions.

Pack light. Stay focused on the next move.

  • Compact to carry: the shorter 43 cm shaft is designed to fit well inside your pack, reducing external bulk.
  • Low weight on the approach: at 290 g, the adze version helps keep your mountain kit light.
  • Technical head in a shorter format: retains the head design of the longer Akila in a lighter, more compact tool.
  • Grip and control: the included tech pommel provides a versatile trigger rest during technical climbs.
  • Practical shaft base: the diagonal cut lets the base double as a spike, with a hole for attaching a leash.
  • Protectors included: pick and adze protectors cover the sharp components when stored or carried.
