DMM Fly Hammer Ice Tool

Description

The Fly's gently curved shaft strikes a balance between clearance for climbing, ease of use when plunged into deep snow, and good self arrest performance. The hot forged handle is straight enough to plunge easily through snow, while the spike on the bottom gives good purchase when walking or making progress on snow slopes.

The aggressive pick gives performance on steeper terrain, with a bottom hand rest that helps reduce the pump and increase stability on steep ground. The Fly can be fitted with a Raptor pick to improve self arrest performance, when winter walking and mountaineering. An optional set-up is available without the upper handrest but including a Choke Hold Leash.

Picks on the Fly and Raptor are interchangeable, allowing you to customize the axes to improve performance on either steeper or more traditional terrain. Fly picks are more aggressive for climbing steep ice and mixed, while the Raptor's Alpine Pick gives better self arrest performance.

The Fly has an integrated lower handrest that makes climbing on steep ground less strenuous, while an upper handrest allows modern climbing techniques like matching to be used.

The clip in points on the base of the axe handle allow the axe to be used as an anchor. Inboard eyelets can be threaded with cord for attaching Freedom Leashes.

DMM axes are T rated, making them tough enough for modern mixed climbing techniques.

Steel picks are strong and highly durable. They are laser cut, and then CNC machined for high performance on ice, frozen turf and rock.

The hot forged handle is ergonomic while still being straight enough to allow easy plunging into snow. A rubber coating insulates the handle and grips well in both dry and wet conditions.

Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.
