Perfect Lightweight Balance For Ski Mountaineering

With the adjustable pommel this tool will climb alpine ice with ease. Love the fact that you can change picks and adze or hammer out with ease?

Simple, Clean Geometry

Great axe for when it gets steep. Petzl picks are great; interchangeable with my quarks and nomics. Performance on technical ground comes with trade off: self arrest and it’s not most comfortable head for caning

Great Hybrid

Climbs vertical ice well enough to excel at short pitches of alpine ice. Self arrest is better than a technical tool so I feel more comfortable on tricky glacier approaches to said ice. I've even climbed ice with it paired with my Summit with a trigrest. Due to the low weight and shallow curve, it obviously doesn't swing or stay on holds as well as a more aggressive tech tool but it's great for short techy steps on long alpine routes.

Great!

this is a great alpine axe. although i was surprised how much the pinkie rest flexed on steeper stuff. Perfect for lower angle ice and steep, hard snow. being able to plunge the shaft for a self belay is a huge advantage over a more technical, fixed grip style ice tool. i really like the modular picks as well. It would be nice if you could swap it out with a more mountaineering style pick for less technical objectives.

Amazing piece of gear. Super light weight and technical enough for low grade ice, can't wait to use it more! Trigrest is cool and the pick is a great angle for the alpine.
