Apex Hammer
Description
All round tool ideal for technical mountaineering, ice climbing, and mixed climbing.
The proven apex design has seen some refinements, with an improved swing thanks to less weight in the handle and tube and refined shaft geometry.
New and improved
The new Apex boasts excellent balance for ice climbing – improvements owed to less weight in the handle and tube, making it more top heavy. Pick weights are included, allowing the user to further tune the axe’s swing.
The refined shaft geometry also gives greater clearance and stability on steep terrain.
Durable and strong shaft
The shaft tube may be lighter, but durability and robust construction are still a priority for the Apex. Our tried and tested dual rivet and glue construction method is used on both the head and handle.
Improved lower rest and spike
Lighter one piece handle, lower rest and spike improves balance and swing. Additional spikes in lower trigger improve stability. Large clip in hole for Phantom, Phantom HMS and Shadow carabiners.
Modular pick system
The Type 2 T rated picks are modular and customisable to your needs. The Apex comes with the Ice Pick with either Compact Hammer or Adze. DMM offers three interchangeable picks, two hammers and one adze.
