Akila Ice Axe
The technical featherweight for the alpine.
The Blue Ice Akila is the first ice axe to achieve Type 1/B technical performance in such an ultralight category. Designed for skiers and alpinists who want to move fast without compromising security, it features an ergonomic chromoly steel head that anchors optimally in any surface. Whether you are clearing snow for a screw placement or driving pitons in mixed terrain, the Akila offers the robustness of a technical tool in a compact 49cm package that disappears into your pack until the angle steepens.

Our Philosophy
We Simplify Outfitting
Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store.
