Description

Versatile ice axe for a wide range of use.
Features:
– Given its modular design, the ice axe can be adapted to a particular ascent
– Especially suitable for demanding technical mountaineering and ice climbing
– Bent shaft makes hooking in steep ice or rock easy while creating an optimum grip angle
– Hot forged head allows use of adze/hammer and choice of ICE or DRY pick (for demanding mixed climbing the ice axe can be used without adze/hammer)
– Head shape is designed so that it can be jammed into cracks and to provide support for climbing in soft snow
– The weight of the head is concentrated in the trajectory of the swing making penetration into hard ice as easy as possible
– Possible to connect a carabiner to the head or hang the ice axe on PORTER
– Ergonomically shaped handle is made of dual-density plastic for thermal insulation and safe grip
– A carabiner or BUNGEE tether may be attached to the spike
– BOXER protects fingers against injury and getting drenched and enables leashless climbing; RHINO hook is designed for higher grip in demanding ice/mixed climbing or, in contrast, in climbing snow slopes (you may remove both accessories and get a light ice axe for classic technical mountaineering) included with ICE pick and removable – extra pick weights MASS for stronger swing (to improve pick penetration into the hardest ice).
