The Glacier Literide from Petzl provides excellent security and holding power in a lightweight, pack-friendly package, making it our go-to for ski mountaineering missions. The adze gives us support and step-cutting power on steep bootpacks, while the aggressive steel pick easily finds purchase on a self-arrest. Because of its small stature and featherweight aluminum shaft, this ice axe straps discretely to our pack when it's time to harvest our hard-earned powder.

Perfect blue! Soooo lightweight
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Height:
- 5' 5"
I only just received this in the mail but I used a friend's a bunch last winter and loved it. It's absurdly lightweight. We practiced self-arresting, cut some steps, used as a third point of contact on snowfields, and it helped me up some crazy thick ice near waterfalls. Seriously can't get over how lightweight it is...there's no excuse not to bring it along in potentially sketchy situations. I am 5'5" and I measured the maximum length for an axe to be 60cm for me. It fits me well according to a way more experienced friend. The blue is a nice bright primary blue, not an aqua. Great color!

The product is good, but the color is different, very ugly
