Name: Ice Tool
Price Range: $20.00 - $150.00
Description: An ice tool is used mainly to help with walking on steep terrain. It is also essential for self-arresting yourself during a slide on a snowy slope. Notice the leash which helps keep you from losing your tool. Ice tool sizing is important: if you are under 5'7" use a 60cm tool; 5'7" - 6'1" use a 65cm tool; over 6'1" use a 70cm tool. (remember that too short is preferable to too long)
