The Story
Generally, you don't mess with a classic, unless you find a way to shave weight without forfeiting features. That's exactly what Blue Ice did with their redesigned Bluebird ice axe. Designed, built, and refined for steep snow and non-technical ice, this forged stainless steel ice axe is the culmination of decades of inspiration and experience.
10% lighter than its predecessor, the Bluebird is the perfect wingman for countless high mountain adventures. Abuse it for a couple decades and then mount it over the fireplace. You have to provide the stories, though...
