Description

• Comfortable grip, designed for highly technical climbing:
  - Double handle (high and low) offers multiple grip modes and stable hand switching
  - Lower handle is sharply angled for more comfort when hanging and more power for extremely difficult sections, and the shape allows an open-handed grip, limiting fatigue and optimizing rests
  - 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

• Efficient placement, hooking, and wedging on different types of terrain:
  - Perfect shape and balance of the ice axe provide an exceptional swing
  - The curve under the head makes hooking easier
  - DRY pick is tapered at the tip (3.3 mm) and versatile across a variety of terrain: rock, snow, and ice; the 4 mm thickness of the pick makes it stronger when slotted and torqued and the toothed edge stabilizes inverted positions
  - Inertia and striking quality are improved with the MASSELOTTES weights
  - The shape of the weights is optimized for slotting the pick in cracks

• 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 550 g)
  - GRIPREST ERGONOMIC handrest is overmolded and adjustable to three positions to adapt to different hand sizes, even while wearing gloves
