What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "When I’m moving fast on steep snow and mixed terrain, I bring the Corsa Nanotech. It’s so light I forget I’m carrying it—but the steel-reinforced pick gives me total confidence when I need to self-arrest or punch into firm alpine ice. It’s the ultimate tool for speed and security in the high mountains." When we're chasing light-and-fast summits deep in technical alpine terrain, we rely on the CAMP USA Corsa Nanotech Axe. Crafted from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, this axe is built to stay featherlight in the pack or hand—without sacrificing durability where it counts. Reinforced with Sandvik Nanoflex® steel at the pick and spike, the Corsa Nanotech adds serious strength in high-stress zones, letting us confidently arrest or plunge through icy terrain without hesitation. It’s not just about weight and steel, though. A gently curved shaft improves clearance on steep snow, while the nylon plug keeps ice from building inside. When paired with an optional sliding leash, we gain control on the move without bulk. At just 250 grams, the Corsa Nanotech practically disappears until the moment we need it most.
