It is what it says it is - C.A.M.P. Corsa Mountainering Axe

This was billed as the ice axe to carry if you may never need one and you won't feel guilty about lugging it along anyway. That is exactly what it is and in the event of a needed self arrest or just an extra hold somewhere I think it will be perfect. Right or wrong I took the rubber ring that holds the leash on my Neve ice axe and put it at the bottom of this one for something to pull down against. I think it will work...I'll find out:)
