Superlight tool, one of the best for mountaineering

by anonymous on 09/26/2020
Pros
Weight - depending on picks you can go as light as 365g
Not ideal for hard ice (due to light head) but you can still climb WI5 comfortably
Wide selection of picks
Despite the weight the tool feels really solid
Cons
The bottom of the grip is shaped quite weird. I has to use a file to make it more comfortable for my pinky.
Familiarity
I’ve used it a bunch
Gear Junkie Review no rating given just a review

At first, the tools’ lightness made me feel I had to swing harder than usual. But I later realized good sticks came with proper wrist flicking – I had no swing issues afterward. But for pure ice climbing, I believe the added momentum of heavier heads would help bring them around the top of the swing more effectively. For now, Petzl weights will fit, but Elite Climb is working on its own.
