The DMM Terrier mirrors the Bulldog's features in a compact design: featuring an easy-strike spine for swift and precise placement, a handle for effortless extraction by your partner, an extendable sling to minimise drag, and a robust 10kN rating. It's an essential piece of gear for any mixed climber.
Combining the Terrier with a Bulldog broadens your repertoire of innovative placement choices in winter conditions.
Features:
Lighter than ever: Weighing a measly 70g, your winter rack will hardly sniff at the Terrier as a great addition for protection on marginal ground. This low weight is in-part achieved with use of the alpine-focused 8mm sling (extendable).
Size gives high security in certain placement types: The reduced size of the Terrier allows it to be used in placements where the Bulldog would struggle for stability. Small patches of frozen turf, thin ice smears and micro seams are all viable Terrier placements. Even the most marginal features are potential protection options when carrying a Terrier.
Ice pick profile allows driving into frozen turf, ice or cracks: The Terrier resembles an ice pick, allowing it to create protection options in any place you'd use your axe. Water ice, frozen turf and iced up cracks all become protection options when armed with a Terrier.
Large hammering area makes for easier placements: The spine of the Terrier presents a large target for hammering, letting you make placements with minimal energy.
Long handle creates leverage for easy removal: The handle of the Terrier gives you a good grasp to lever the device out of whatever it has been driven into, aiding extraction and letting you get on with the climbing.
Extendable sling gives versatile and easily extended placements: The extendable 8mm Dynatec sling allows a Terrier placement to be quickly and easily extended. This is crucial in the winter environment where long and wandering pitches are common, communication is difficult, and rope drag must be kept to a minimum.
Lightening holes reduce weight: There are laser cut holes in the Terrier that reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
Achieves 10kN in lab tensile testing, giving high levels of security: In tensile testing the Terriers rate to 10kN static load. Provided the material they are placed in is strong and the placement good, the Terrier will provide you with lightweight security in a wide variety of situations.
