Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Ski mountaineers and other alpine travelers needed an ultralight mountaineering axe, so Camp created the 7.2-ounce Corsa Ice Axe. No that's not a typo, this thing only weighs 7.2 ounces. The key to this ice axe's low weight is all-aluminum construction. Although the Corsa Ice Axe isn't the tool of choice for steep alpine or ice climbing, the aluminum pick gets the job done well on hard neve snow and during mellow glacier travel. Strap this Camp ice axe to your pack for your next technical ski tour, and it will be ready to provide extra purchase for the sketchy traverse into the couloir."

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Camp USA Corsa Axe (Fall 2009) The Corsa Nanotech by Camp USA uses innovative Sandvik Nanoflex steel alloy (20% lighter than normal steel and up to 60% stronger) attachments on the pick and spike to drastically increase the strength and durability of these points without significantly increasing the weight. Well-suited for classic alpinism, but thanks to the steel attachments, it can also be used on icy and hard snow where the properties of steel become desirable. 7075 aluminum alloy single-curve bent shaft with the aggressive Sandvik Nanoflex spike offers a maximum range of comfortable positions for posting and anchoring."

From REI:
"Quite possibly the lightest ice axe in the world, C.A.M.P. USA® Corsa excels at mountaineering, adventure racing and low-angle glacier travel. Built from tough and light 7075-series aluminum for dependable service and minimum weight, Corsa is hardly noticeable when packed. Hot-forged, aluminum head with neutral tip delivers solid bite, and the rear adze adds chopping power. Head shape is comfortable when gripping and plunging. Lithe, hollow aluminum shaft wields easily for superb control; integrated spike with rivet at end stops snow from clogging inside shaft. Not suitable for use on vertical ice or mixed terrain."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of C.A.M.P. Corsa Ice AxeThe lightest ice axe in the world! Another instance of C.A.M.P. beating its own lightweight record. 7075 aluminum alloy B-rated head and shaft. Not suitable for ice climbing or mixed terrain. Absolutely perfect for low angle glacier travel, ski mountaineering and adventure racing."
