The Excavator Carbon Shovel is an ultralight backcountry tool built for light and fast alpine missions. Featuring a streamlined yet high volume anodized aluminum blade and a single section carbon shaft, you’ll barely notice the weight of the Excavator Carbon in your backcountry pack. The Excavator Carbon’s 49cm carbon shaft is a functional length for moving snow fast yet short enough to fit in any backpack. For unshakable grip or changing hand positions, the Excavator Carbon is outfitted with an ergonomic symmetrical T-handle.
