DMM Raptor Mountaineering Ice Axe

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The gentle curve in the shaft gives clearance when swinging without compromising the Raptor’s ability to self arrest.

A full size hammer and adze make light work of cutting steps and ledges and bashing in pegs for security. The spike on the base of the handle rounds out the Raptors mountaineering capability by giving security on snow and ice slopes.

For those wishing to venture into steep terrain the Raptor can be fitted with a Fly pick that improves climbing performance. A leash prevents you accidentally dropping the axe, and allows resting opportunities if climbing steeper ground.

• Picks on the Fly and Raptor are interchangeable, allowing you to customise the axes to improve performance on either steeper or more traditional terrain. Fly picks are more aggressive for climbing steep ice and mixed, while the Raptor's Alpine Pick gives better self arrest performance.
• The Raptor comes with a leash, keeping the axe firmly secured to you in case of an accidental drop and making it easier to climb steep terrain.
• The Raptor is available in both adze and hammer variants to give you the full range of options when climbing more technical terrain.
• DMM axes are T rated, making them tough enough for modern mixed climbing techniques.
• Steel picks are strong and highly durable. They are laser cut, and then CNC machined for high performance on ice, frozen turf and rock.
