The Petzl Nomic is designed to take on serious ice and mixed climbs the Petzl Nomic has allowed climbers to push the limits of the winter game and with the new improved Nomic this looks set to continue. The new 2011/12 design has kept the same shaft and pick angle as the original Nomic but has had the handle improved with an adjustable grip rest to give a better ergonomic feel (when first released in early 2011 there where some problems with the adjustable grip rest but this has now been fixed by the Petzl boffins).

The Grivel Tech Machine Ice Simple Vario is aimed at steep and overhanging climbs where the angled shaft, and reverse positive blade will help you up the route. The handle is ergonomic and well insulated to help with comfort on the climb and has a spike on the end for topping out and the approach. To increase usability the blade is interchangeable, and when paired with a mix pick, can take a hammer or shovel.
