Winter and Alpine

The Crux AK47 RT is a super-tough rucksack that utilises a Kevlar-based fabric construction whilst weighing in at just under 1.2kg. This means it's it's built to withstand the knocks and scrapes of demanding climbs, but it won't slow you down. Hence the Crux 3G AK47 RT is a must have pack for the discerning Alpinist.

The Crux 3G AK47-X RT has most of the same great features as the Crux 3G AK47 RT, but with an added floating removable lid and a roll top closure under the hood. Perfect for when you have to huff in huge loads to a camp and then need to strip the sack back down to minimise weight - or when you want to ditch the lid but still have a waterproof rucksack without need for a liner.

The Crux 3G AK57 RT takes the classic AK57 and gives it a fully waterproof body using welded seams, Kevlar fabric and a roll-top closure. The extendable floating lid allows an extra 5 litres space to put ropes etc when quick access may be necessary or your kit is frozen stiff and won't go back in your pack.

The AK70 is a large expedition pack suitable for climbs in the Greater Ranges. It can manage a heavy payload of 28–35 kgs in tolerable comfort, but still remains light enough to be used for a summit push. Its large volume is ideal for stuffing bulky, frozen gear into. As well as being remarkably light for such a capacious pack, the AK70 is substantial enough to impart a feeling of solidity and security.

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.

The DMM Bulldog is an ice tool that offers protection on winter climbs and can be used in many features thrown up in winter. When suitable cracks are hard to find for wired nuts etc when on mixed snow an ice climbs, many climbers will seek out frozen turf or an iced up crack and reach for their DMM Bulldog. The bulldog is not as long as the infamous Warthogs so is particularly useful when the turf is shallow. It comes with a doubled 11mm dyneema sling attached for quick and easy extension.

In winter, there are times when the only thing to lodge an anchor in is the snow itself. The DMM Deadman lets you make the most of this medium and improves on the classic ice axe belay by creating a larger surface area that increases resistance to the placement pulling through. Used in snow gullies and below cornice top outs, the Deadman creates protection out of nothing and provides security in the most insecure places.
