BANDIT / RK003YX00H - with hammer
BANDIT / RK004YX00A - with adze
Versatile ice axe for a wide range of use
- 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)
