X-Dream Ice Tool $300

-

The X-Dream comes with two picks, one for ice and one for rock, but the handle can alter depending on what you are climbing. By changing the Allen bolt in the grip you can switch the angle between the handle and the pick. For steep dry tooling the handle can move upwards for more down and out pull. For ice the handle can be moved to offer a more natural swing with the tool. Often running water can freeze to the ice tool so it might be a challenge to adjust the angle of the handle if the Allen bolt has frozen into it. Holding the tool in bare-hands might be enough heat to melt the ice out.
