Heavy-Duty Pro rescue Shovel. 90° Clearing Hoe Function & Rigid Aluminum Blade.
Engineered for avalanche professionals, backcountry guides, and serious alpine touring teams, this high-performance shovel delivers maximum moving power when every second counts. Featuring a heavy-duty anodized aluminum blade with a sharp, rigid cutting edge and non-slip step grooves, it cuts easily through hard-packed avalanche debris. Its telescoping, rapid-locking T-handle converts instantly into a 90-degree clearing hoe for maximum snow removal efficiency during critical Monashee companion rescues.
90° Clearing Hoe Function: Shaft inserts into the blade slot at a right angle, turning the shovel into an ergonomic drag-hoe to clear debris twice as fast during paddle-line rescues.
Telescoping Oval Shaft: Rigid, non-circular shaft profile prevents twisting during extension and snaps into place automatically with quick-locking pins.
Large-Volume Anodized Blade: Stiffened 5052 aluminum blade with high sidewalls moves massive amounts of snow per scoop while fitting neatly into standard rescue packs.
Non-Slip Step Grooves: Top edge of the blade features textured ridges so you can drive the sharp cutting edge through icy debris with your boot.
Symmetrical T-Grip Handle: Reversible handle design accommodates both left- and right-handed shoverlers with or without thick gloves.
Rescue Sled Functionality: Pre-drilled attachment holes in the blade allow integration with skis and webbed straps to build an emergency evacuation sled.
Pack-Friendly Flat Profile: Straight blade sidewalls and pack-compatible dimensions slide cleanly alongside your probe and airbag system.
