And the type 2 “T” DRY pick, especially designed for dry-tooling.
It can mount and ADZE or a HAMMER. It can also mount 4 different types of hand-rest: The SPIKELESS hand-rest, which comes standard and is specially designed for a safer dry-tooling activity, preventing pricks in case of fall. The SPIKALPIN hand-rest, which is perfect for classical alpinism and cross-country skiing.

The Cryo swings well. At 1.3 pounds, it's extremely light, and the narrow shaft is great for people with small hands. I also think that the tip of the pick is too far forward of the hand. When you place the tool, you feel like you are miles away from the ice -- good for keeping your knuckles away from the ice, but bad for keeping your weight under the pick. The Cryo is a decent tool that only suffers from trying to be too nifty.
