Ice Tools

The DMM Apex is an ice tool with a new and modern design that make it perfect for ice and winter climbing in anywhere from Norway to Scotland. The shaft features an extreme curve, which provides good hand clearance in ice bulges and allows for a technical pick angle. The grip is insulated and ergonomically shaped for maximum comfort and control. All of its components are T-rated and subsequently suitable for belay anchoring.

Enjoy the benefits and freedom of leashless climbing without the risk of losing your tools with the DMM Freedom leash. Perfect for both beginner and advanced climbers tackling long committing routes and all round winter climbing.

The DMM Freedom Revo Leash provides you with the freedom and versatility of leashless climbing, whilst still preventing your axes from falling if you do drop them. While leashless climbing is incredibly liberating, dropping your axe halfway up a route is not an option. The double Revo leash has a clip in point half way up. If you fall off but your axes hold, this allows you to clip a sling into the leash and pull back to your axes. A feature you hopefully won’t have to use, but will be glad of if you do.

The Grivel Double Spring Evo is the new light and minimal double elastic leash for ice axes reinvented in its style. Designed not to lose the tools during use. The insertion into the ice axes is via a simple toggle blocked by a rubber pad (without carabiner), while in the harness via a cow hitch knot. A swivel on the harness side avoids twisting and makes it smoother in use.

The Grivel Easy G Leash is a simple leash with a broad supportive loop of material around the wrist that goes tight when pulled down. A loop is fitted around the shaft of the ice tool so that when the wrist is pulled up and away from the tool the wrist loop loosens easily. A good simple design.

The Grivel G-Slider is a light and functional removable hand-rest for ice axes that can slide along the shaft.
