The Blue Ice Akila LT Hammer is a compact ski mountaineering ice axe that keeps your mountain kit light and packable. At 43 cm and 300 g, it combines the technical head of the longer Akila with a shorter shaft designed to fit neatly inside your pack.

When your day moves from carrying skis to tackling a steep ascent, a compact tool means less bulk to manage. The integrated tech pommel provides a lightweight trigger rest for grip and control during technical climbs, while the dual-textured grip adds a defined handling surface.

What activity is the Akila LT Hammer for?

Designed for mountaineering and steep-slope skiing, the Akila LT serves as a ski piolet for compact mountain setups. The hammer version can also be carried as a third tool for summer ascents. It is specialist mountain equipment, rather than a general hiking accessory; choose and use it in line with your skills, terrain and the manufacturer's instructions.

Less bulk. Purposeful mountain performance.

  • Fits inside your pack: the shorter 43 cm shaft makes it easier to build a compact setup.
  • Low carrying weight: weighs 300 g, helping you keep equipment weight down on the approach.
  • Technical head, shorter format: retains the head design of the longer Akila in a lighter, shorter tool.
  • Grip and control: the included tech pommel acts as a versatile trigger rest during technical climbs.
  • Practical shaft base: a diagonal cut lets the base double as a spike, with a hole for attaching a leash.
  • Hammer configuration: offers the additional option of carrying it as a third tool on summer ascents.
