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 the 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).
