Good Tool For Light Ice Climbing And Mountneering
This tool does both good in both the words of mountaineering and light/easy ice climbing. Is this tool my first pick for hard mixed routes and steep ice? No. Is that why you buy this tool? No. You get this tool as a bit of a do it all for expeditions where your not sure if the route will end up being steep glacier traverse or AI-3 terrain. The piece for the versatility, weight. If you will only be mountaineering then perhaps the venom is the better tool for you. For me the extra capability to proper ice climb with these tools is well worth the extra weight on the pack or in the hands. Highly recommended these tools

Great For Rainier
Great Ice Ax with an awesome grip that keeps you moving up the mountain. Looking forward to using this more on additional adventures and wearing it in over time. Like that the tips can be replaced.

Love These Tools!
I started ice climbing a few seasons ago and tested out a lot of different tools from friends and these always felt the best, so I finally took the leap and bought my own set! They feel good in my hands and have a nice swing. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding!
Just picked these up and they were amazing for steep ice heading up and also used for a nice little assist heading down on skis through a tight icy choke. Would def recommend.

Loved Them
Took them out for a weekend of climbing in Ouray. My partners and I all loved the new tools. Lightweight, a good swing, a comfortable shaft, and I loved the second pinky hook so I could choke up on the tool when needed.

Game Changer
I’m a little late to the game, better late than never, but after using tools with leashes for the past 20+ years of ice climbing, I can’t believe that I held out this long. Excellent swing balance on the tools, I have an adze and hammer and like having the adze to improve my screw placements when needed, place easily over bulges, overall very happy. I use the spinner leash since I’m usually climbing multi pitch ice but will likely not use it for single pitch ‘cragging’ days

These Ice Tools Work Perfect For Me
I really like these ice tools. They're affordable, and have a nice feel to them. They have a slightly pick-heavy feel which I think helps for technical ice climbing.

Applicable Tool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my left side as I like a different style for right side. It sure is a great compliment to my system. Also light weight and solid which we need for confidence.

Powerful Tool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice tool screams power. Just holding it in you’re hand gets you pumped to scale any mountain. I bought this tool for a trip to Iceland this fall. I can’t wait to punch through some ice!
