DMM Raptor Axe

A versatile tool for mountaineering, winter walking and classic climbs.

Developed in conjunction with guides and mountaineering instructors, the Raptor is a classic tool that is built to last. The aggressive alpine picks deal easily with steep couloirs, ridges, glacier work and yet are still effective at self-arrests. The full size hammer and adze can cope with everything from cutting steps to chopping ledges, from bashing pegs to digging out belays. The gently curved shaft allows extra clearance whilst swinging and daggering, yet does not hinder hammering, step cutting, or plunging the tools.

FEATURES:

• The gentle curve in the shaft gives clearance when swinging without compromising the Raptor’s ability to self arrest.
• A full size hammer and adze make light work of cutting steps and ledges and bashing in pegs for security.
• The spike on the base of the handle rounds out the Raptors mountaineering capability by giving security on snow and ice slopes.
• For those wishing to venture into steep terrain the Raptor can be fitted with a Fly pick that improves climbing performance.
• A Choke Hold Leash prevents you accidentally dropping the axe, and allows resting opportunities if climbing steeper ground.
• new inset rubberised handle.
