At just over a pound, the CAMP Alu Fix Shovel takes the catch-22 out of carrying a shovel. You dont have to sacrifice durability for light weight, and you dont have to carry an anvil to feel like your shovel serves a purpose. CaAMP constructed the fixed blade and shaft from strong, lightweight 6000 series aluminum. Four holes in the resilient blade allow it to double as a snow anchor during rappels, and the Alu Fix Shovels carry bag comes with straps that lash to your mountaineering pack.
