Chouinard Zero X Ice Axe Climbing Classic Pick Tool USA Blue Shaft Vintage 1984
Vintage Chouinard ice climbing axe featuring a steel head with pick and adze, mounted on a blue metal shaft. Marked “CHOUINARD U.S.A.” on the head, this example dates to the early period of modern technical climbing equipment development in the 1970s. Chouinard equipment is highly collectible due to its connection to the origins of modern alpine climbing gear and the later founding of Black Diamond Equipment.
