Overview
About Edelrid Riot Adze Ice Axe - 50cm
Closeouts. Edelrid's Riot Adze ice axe is perfect for basic, all-around ice climbing and works especially well on steeper ascents. The lighter design requires less strength and a more delicate swing, which makes the Riot ideal for women climbers. The modular construction with interchangeable heads, picks, weights and handle ensures adaptability to all routes.
- Lightweight, curved shaft offers an improved angle for a more direct swing, better penetration and precise placement on ice and rock
- Hardened steel waterfall pick for outstanding purchase and easy removal on steep ice
- Ergonomic, triple-component handle for maximum comfort and control
- Detachable hand rest protects the knuckles and can be removed for leashless climbs
- Stainless steel spike with opening to accommodate a carabiner
- Modular construction can be adapted to suit all uses and conditions
- Made in Germany
- Climbing activities are inherently dangerous; we recommend getting proper instruction on its correct and safe use -- for any refund, climbing gear must be returned in its original packaging/coil, and have original hangtags and plastic wrapper

2.0 out of 5 stars. Barely functionalReviewed by James from Colorado on Monday, January 28, 2019So close, yet so far. Well balanced with a good weight to the head for easy sticks. Nice pommel rest. Incredibly comfortable to use in canne thanks to the wide, sculpted head.
Handle profile (narrows towards the front) causes the tool to deflect sideways when you swing it, meaning your pick bounces harmlessly off the ice instead of sticking. Pommel rest broke on the third or fourth trip out with these. Pommel rest shape also makes effectively swinging the adze/hammer extremely difficult - a problem with many tools but especially bad with the Riot. -
5.0 out of 5 stars. Aweso Technical Ice AxeVerified Buyer Reviewed by Javier from Mexico on Sunday, June 4, 2017This is one of the best technical ice axes I have ever tried, it has a perfect balance for the swing at the ice. I recomendaciones it for technical mountaineering and some moderate ice/mixed climbing. Totally recommended if you want to evolve from classic to technical mountaineering and the price is amazing.
