Description
- Efficient placement on a variety of types of ice:
– Perfect shape and balance of the ice axe provide an exceptional swing
– The curve under the head makes hooking easier
– PUR’ICE pick is tapered at the tip (3 mm), offering excellent penetration in different types of ice, including hard ice; the pick is toothed on the upper side to offer stable support when turned upside-down
– Inertia and striking quality are optimized with MASSELOTTES weights - Comfortable grip, designed for technical ice climbing:
– Double handle (high and low) offers multiple grip modes and stable hand switching
– Lower handle is angled to protect the hand from contact with the ice and to provide more comfort when suspended
– Upper handle is overmolded and bi-material, offering excellent grip and insulation from the cold
– Hydroformed shaft provides optimal grip in the middle of the shaft - The ALPEN ADAPT system makes it completely modular:
– Entirely modular head allows the technical aspects of the ice axe to be adjusted
– Interchangeable with ICE, PUR’ICE, DRY, and PUR’DRY picks to adapt to different terrain objectives (snow, ice, or mixed)
– Adze and hammer are interchangeable
– Sold with MINI MARTEAU, to protect the head and allow the user to hammer a piton back in
– Without accessories, the ice axe is lighter for dry tooling (only 500 g)
– GRIPREST NOMIC handrest is overmolded and adjustable to three positions to adapt to different hand sizes, even while wearing gloves; the lower part has a toothed stainless steel point that improves support when used in piolet-canne mode
