Product description

Convert you shovel to an ice axe for steep, exposed slopes where you might want a self-arrest tool. Attach the compact pick to the shovel’s T-handle and slide the spike into the shaft bottom to make a lightweight emergency axe. The telescoping shaft adjusts the height and extends to a full when you need leverage for shoveling.

Blade is made of strain hardened and anodized aluminum.
Pick is 7075 T6 aluminum.
When not in use, the pick and spike nest together for safe storage in a jacket pocket or pack.
Pro Alu III, Ortovox's premier shovel is fast to assemble and has a huge 2.7L scoop volume.
T-handle configures for right or left-handed users.
Telescoping shaft is secure and compact enough (44cm) to fit in a pack.
Shovel blade has slots for rigging a rescue sled, and mounts on the shaft handle to make a scoop for snow cave construction.
Note that the Pocket Spike does not meet requirements of EN13089 for separate ice axes and picks.
