Ice Axe Bandit (New version) : Version - Adze

– 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 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) Material: pick: chromoly steel head, spike, shaft: aluminium alloy grip: dual-density plastic Weight 610 g (22 oz) = fully mounted ice axe (ice pick, hammer/adze, Boxer, Rhino) Length 50 cm (20 in)
