CAMP Corsa Race Ice Axe - Ultrа-light Ice Axe for Speed and Efficiency

CAMP Corsa Race Ice Axe - Ultrа-light Ice Axe for Speed and Efficiency

The Corsa Race is engineered to be the lightest certified ice axe in the world - built specifically for ski-mountaineering racers and fast alpine tours where every gram counts. 

Key Features

• Ultra-light design: Weighing just ~185 g with a 50 cm shaft - the minimum length required by International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) for competitions. 
• Minimalist construction: Lightweight 7075-aluminum shaft with reduced material, no shaft plug, and machined holes for further weight savings while improving grip and handling. 
• Competition-ready: Meets certification EN 13089 Type 1 - acceptable for ski-mountaineering use. 
• Racing-optimized design: A small slot in the head allows attachment of a dedicated leash (sold separately) for secure handling in movement or transitions. 

Use & Limitations

• Designed primarily for ski-mountaineering, snow travel, and fast alpine ascent/descent - excellent for light snow slopes and firm alpine snow. 
• Not suitable for vertical ice climbing, mixed terrain, or heavy step-cutting scenarios. 

Bottom line: If you value absolute lightness, speed, and minimum weight - the Corsa Race offers a sharp balance of performance and portability. Ideal for ski-mountaineering competitions, quick alpine races, or lightweight snow hikes where every gram matters.
