What Length Should I Get?
Mountaineering axes range from 65cm to 80cm long. To get the right size, hold the axe by the head with your arm hanging down by your side. The spike should reach to just above the floor.
A longer ice axe maybe nice to use as walking stick on flat ground, but will be much harder to control during self-arrest. We would recommend using a trekking pole for balance on easier terrain and switch to an axe on steeper slopes.
For climbing consistently steep terrain, get a slightly shorter axe, which is easier to pull up and replant as you go up. Longer axes force you to raise your arm higher each time you plant them, which can tire you out quickly.
