Welcome to the next generation in ice protection. All threads are precision machined with an ideal thread to depth ratio affording them amazing holding power. The teeth are razor-sharp and machined at an aggressive angle for lightning-fast placements. The thin-walled titanium tubes are extremely strong yet displace a minimal amount of ice, further lending to their security. Fixed high-clearance hanger is designed for easy clips and hangs straight for hassle-free low profile racking. All of this while being 20-30% lighter than their steel counterparts! Two of the four new models feature 'speed-knobs' that are larger and easier to grasp, even with mittens. Use with a Cam Ti-Off for the ultimate in performance! A Bob Culp Design.

The most revolutionary development in ice climbing protection since the advent of the tubular ice screw. The Cam Ti-Off provides a fast clip, maximum security, easier placement, and it dramatically reduces leveraging; an essential addition to every rack!

Big-bore titanium construction, razor sharp teeth, and deep threads give the Ti III greater holding power in soft or marginal ice placements. Free-floating wrench hanger functions as a built-in tie-off. The weight-savings alone makes them ideal for any alpine ascent.

The Altai is a mountaineering axe that performs exceptionally well at any task: self-arrest, axe belays, even on vertical ice. In addition to its aggressive pick style and lightweight construction, the Altai is a full-strength tool with a real spike for plunging into the snow. And, the dampening characteristics of Ti provides for that elusive 'sweet swing'. Most importantly, the Altai weighs a mere 385 grams (13.6 oz; 65cm), making it one of the lightest axes on the market! Plus, our specialized titanium alloys make this axe unbeleivably durable and tough. For a lifetime of unparalleled performance, this tool has no equal! *

*A handful of other manufacturers have begun to experiment with Ti axes, but none of them come close to having the design experience, custom alloys, or technological capabilities as Ushba--- our years of experience with titanium speaks for itself.
