Petzl Ride 45 cm Ice Axe

The Petzl Ride is a compact, ultra‑light 45 cm ice axe designed for ski touring, freeride and glacier travel. It is built to be carried on your pack while still providing reliable placements in snow and ice.

Main benefits

• Compact 45 cm length makes it easy to clip to a pack or secure with a carabiner.
• Ultra‑light construction (Petzl references 235 g / advertised 240 g) reduces fatigue on long approaches.
• Forged steel pick tapered to 3 mm for easier penetration into ice.
• Bevelled stainless spike simplifies pack‑carrying and reduces wear on the carrier.
• Low‑profile head, shaped shaft and grooved surface improve grip and control in varied angles.

Typical use: ski touring, freeride and glacier crossings in mixed snow and ice conditions where low weight and safe pack storage are priorities. A protective cap for the pick is included.
