Stubai Hornet 2009

£55.00

The Stubai Hornet is an excellent entry-level technical climbing ice axe, although to use it properly you need a matching hammer. This is exceptionally affordable for the type of axe, as most climbing axes boast a far higher price tag. For the small outlay you get a  46cm axe with a pre-curved shaft to allow placement clearance on steep ice-climbing. ...
