Neve – The essential ice axe for glacier travel and ski touring

The CAMP Neve is a lightweight ice axe designed for mountaineers and ski tourers looking for a simple, reliable and efficient tool for glacier travel, snow slopes and classic alpine routes. More robust than a fully aluminium model thanks to its steel head and steel spike, it delivers excellent security while maintaining a lightweight design.

Its chrome-plated steel head provides reliable penetration in hard snow and ensures effective self-arrest performance in the event of a slip. The pick and adze feature a classic profile, making the Neve ideal for glacier crossings, snowy ridges and alpine routes where simplicity, reliability and efficiency are the top priorities.

The aluminium shaft, combined with a steel spike, provides solid support when using the axe as a walking aid on snow or glaciers. Its ergonomic grip offers comfortable handling, while the large openings in both the head and spike make it easy to attach a carabiner or leash.

Supplied with the CAMP Touring leash, the Neve is an excellent first ice axe for anyone discovering mountaineering, while also being a great choice for experienced climbers looking for a lightweight and dependable tool for classic alpine objectives.
