with hammer RK003YX00H
with adze RK004YX00A
Versatile ice axe for a wide range
of use. Given its modular design,
the ice axe can be adapted to
a particular ascent. Especially suit-
able 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/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 climb-
ing in soft snow. The weight of the
head is concentrated in the trajec-
tory of the swing making penetra-
tion into hard ice as easy as
possible. Possible to connect a ca-
rabiner to the head.
- 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.
- Removable extra pick weights
MASS for stronger swing im-
prove pick penetration into the
hardest ice.
