Description
The Petzl Ride is the ice axe you barely notice you’re carrying — until you need it. Built for ski touring, glacier travel, and fast alpine missions, its all-steel head and curved shaft deliver the placements of a full-size mountaineering axe in a package that tips the scales at just 240g. Short enough at 45 cm to disappear inside your pack, the Ride is the axe you’ll want tucked away for those glacier crossings and spring couloirs across the Southern Alps!
Features & Specs:
- Weight: 240 g
- Length of shaft: 45 cm
- Steel head with pick tapered to 3mm for solid penetration in firm snow and ice
- Curved shaft and machined grip for confident handling
- Beveled, plug-fitted spike (no separate spike) keeps snow out and weight down
- Compact enough to stow inside your pack rather than strapped outside
- Material(s): tempered steel, 7075 aluminium
- Certification(s): CE, UIAA

Buying guide
Ski binding and ski boot crampons give you the ability to be prepared for New Zealand’s ever changing conditions. Make sure you’re ready for whatever you come across on your next adventure!
Ski binding crampons work by lifting as you drag the ski across the ground, then piercing through the snow and ice when you step down to give you the best locked grip possible. These are specific to each binding. Choosing one is as simple as figuring out what binding you’re using and matching it back to the crampon. Choose a size that is wider than the width of your ski. Crampons don’t have any give in the width, so it’s important to have enough.
If you don’t see a crampon that is compatible with your current binding, just let us know and we can help you out!
As a ski specific shop, we always try to find crampons that have the best compatibility with touring boots. While many crampons may fit the ski boots, the Grivel selection we carry have been build specifically around ski boots and are the perfect fit with Alpine Touring, Gripwalk, WTR soles, and even Alpine soles. They are also lightweight and easily packable. They are a one size fits all system that is easy to dial in to the exact size you need.
The new Dynafit TLT 7, TLT 8, and Hoji boots require a special adaptor to be crampon compatible. See product description for more details.
