Vertex Hammer
Description
A very lightweight technical mountaineering tool with modular pick system, for use in a wide variety of alpine terrain. The shaft geometry is straight enough to be efficient on less steep ground and for plunging in snow yet curved enough to have a precise swing and provide clearance over ice bulges.

Perhaps you're more of a winter hillwalker, but want something that's good for the occasional mountaineering route too; maybe you're a more committed climber, but like easy fast-moving days as well as pushing your grades; or let's imagine you're heading somewhere Alpine or bigger: light, modular, technically able yet not overkill when walking, the versatile Vertex covers a lot of bases. If, like me, you have a weakness for a good axe, and a suitable gap in your current collection, then you may struggle to resist a pair. I'm smitten.
