The X-Dream combines two tools in one – a fully optimized tool for technical ice and an aggressive dry tooling machine. This amazing ice axe not only features four different T rated picks for various terrain, but it also incorporates an innovative adjustment system in the handle to fine tune the swing and pull even further. Use the allen bolt above the grip to switch between Dry and Ice positions In the Dry position, the handle kicks upward for a more down and out pull. The Ice position drops the handle for a more natural swing on ice. Climbers can further refine the X-Dream with micro-adjustable trigger finger ledges (choose from two inserts – the X-Finger Small or the X-Finger Large – that can be flipped over to adjust the position) and the X-Rest insert which adjusts the overall height of the handle. All four picks feature a refined beak and tooth configuration. They are designed to provide solid sticks with minimal effort making them the perfect choice for brittle ice and technical mixed terrain. The X-Dream comes standard with the Mixte pick. The Ice pick brings the tip 6 mm closer to the handle, but maintains the same angle as the Mixte pick. The Mixte and Ice picks can be used alone or with the hammer or adze. The Race pick features a sharp beak for grappling with rock. The Total Dry pick is designed for maximum performance on overhanging dry tooling routes and in competitions.

CertificationCertificationsThe 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. Learn MoreRock and Ice Certifications Guide |
