Swing Light: Salamandra Kevlar-Carbon Ice Axe Review
Despite an impressively light weight, Elite Climb's carbon and kevlar Salamandra ice axes proved durable and strong in our rigorous testing.
ELITECLIMB MORPHO REVIEW
ELITECLIMB MAKE THE BEST ICE TOOLS AVAILABLE... THESE TOOLS ARE 20-30% LIGHTER. THEY ARE WARMER IN HANDS. THEY ARE BOTH MORE RIDGID AND MORE DAMPENED BECAUSE OF THEIR COMPOSITES.
Eliteclimb Raptor - ice axes made in Poland
I climb with Raptors a lot. Usually in terrain harder than M6. To grade M7+ they are excellent. Good “feeling” of tools and light weight is quite good for this terrain.
Headquarters and manufacturing are recorded separately, because they are often different places: a brand headquartered in one country frequently manufactures in another. Tabarnam lists what the catalog holds and marks the rest unknown. Entries come from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date — production moves.
