Mountaineering on the glaciers as pioneers, searching for the great alpine summits with CAMP

Once upon a time untamed peaks were all the rage: an immense playground for 19th c. pioneers, local mountain guides with their daring, very often British clients who aimed at reaching the highest peaks. Their ability lied in finding the easiest routes, perhaps on a ridge like on the Matterhorn, but more often on snowy peaks such as Mont Blanc. Walking was and is enough on those glaciers, holding on to the fatigue imposed by altitude, discovering an extraordinary setting, pure wilderness in the heart of Europe. The easiest normal routes on alpine four thousand-metre peaks like Monte Rosa are a favourite for many enthusiasts in the summer, captured by that white world, one step closer to Heaven and helped by tools that were unthinkable a hundred and fifty years ago. No more alpenstocks, spiked shoes and uncomfortable, heavy clothes, but proper gear like the Corsa Nanotech ice axe, the Ascent crampon and the G Air Hot Dry glove: a C.A.M.P. trio that stands for innovation, where lightness and functionality elevate the experience to an extraordinary one.

CORSA NANOTECH ICE AXE
The Corsa Nanotech is the most advanced mountaineering ice axe on the market. It merges the hyperlight properties of aluminum construction with a Sandvik Nanoflex® steel reinforced tip and spike for a solid grip on hard snow and ice. The steel components dramatically increase the performance of these critical points without significantly increasing the weight of the axe. The single-curve shaft provides extra clearance without interfering with walking or plunging performance. The grip is machined for good handling and a small slot in the head allows for seamless integration with the Corsa leash (sold separately). Not suitable for use on vertical ice, mixed terrain or for intense step chipping.
