The Bandit Ice axe is a versatile ice axe for a wide range of use and is especially suted for demanding technical mountaineering and ice climbing.
- Given its modular design, the ice axe can be adapted to a particular ascent
- Bent shaft makes hooking in steep ice or rock easy while creating an optimum grip angle
- Hot forged head allows use of adze/hammer and choice of Ice or Dry pick (for demanding mixed climbing the ice axe can be used without adze/hammer)
- Head shape is designed so that it can be jammed into cracks and to provide support for climbing in soft snow
- The weight of the head is concentrated in the trajectory of the swing making penetration into hard ice as easy as possible
- Possible to connect a carabiner to the head or hang the ice axe on a Porter
- Ergonomically shaped handle is made of dual-density plastic for thermal insulation and safe grip
- A carabiner or Bungee tether may be attached to the spike
- The Boxer protects fingers against injury and getting drenched and enables leashless climbing; Rhino hook is designed for higher grip in demanding ice/mixed climbing or, in contrast, in climbing snow slopes (you may remove both accessories and get a light ice axe for classic technical mountaineering)
