Simple & Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what it looks like. A lightweight ax with a traditional spike. Perfect for ski touring in technical terrain. Great to pair with a BD Whippit for ascents

Small And Light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted an axe that was light enough to take with me on a veriety of tours and small enough that it would fit inside my pack (Dakine Poacher R.A.S. 36L Backpack). This fits the bill perfectly. Dosent come with silicone covers for the sharp ends so you'll need to purchase those separately if you want them

Lightweight Without Compromise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This piolet is light enough to be your go-to for ski touring duty, but the inclusion of a spike sets it apart. A lot of the ultralight axes do not have a spike and the shaft fills with snow when plunging. However, the Literide has a spike, which makes this piolet great for plunging, while light enough for ski mounatineering/touring.

Lightride, No Really!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever been booting up a steep coolie and thought, man, I wish my BD raven was lighter? Meet this axe. Lightweight, easy to swing and comfortable to hold; the perfect axe for what it's designed to do: ski mountaineer. It's even more versatile if you're short (I'm 5'5"). Extremely happy with this axe. My partners want one now, too.

Super Light Weight!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for light & fast mountaineering objectives. Was worried it might be too short, but it's just the right size (I'm 5'6") and fits onto my UD fastpack without banging into the back of your head
