Let's begin with a straight-up fact: Camp's Corsa family of ice axes represents the lightest fleet of ice axes on the planet. With that out of the way, let's introduce you to the Corsa.

The Corsa is a hyperlight ice axe designed for glacier travel and ski mountaineering. The aluminum alloy construction is almost unimagineably lightweight, but still rated Type 1 for use as a snow anchor and for self-arresting. A lightweight nylon spike plug keeps snow out of the shaft. The grip is machined for good handling and a small slot in the head allows for seamless integration with a leash.
