This is a true pure ice pick optimized for one thing: make ice climbing a lot easier. Penetrates better and displaces less ice so you spend more time moving up and less time swinging.
Tapered to 2mm before sharpening. That's thin!
Top mohawk designed for using your tool as a functional cane on low angle front pointing ice.
Bottom mohawk tailored for increased stability in picked out holes, shell ice, and for hooking curtains, pillars, and daggers.
Long front beak shaped for scratching on thin ice and maintaining performance after multiple sharpenings.
Unique, wear resistant metal choice for increased lifespan.
Notes:
Quantity of 1 = 1 pick, not 1 set.
For all non-hammered picks, there are a couple millimeters of steel sticking out the back of the tool where the hammer would be. This is purposeful. If you need to reinforce a piton on rappel or clear ice around rock, it really helps mitigate how much you bash and malform the head of your ice tool.
Each Pick was modeled directly to the latest version of each tool as of launch. We cannot guarantee that it will fit 1) older versions of the tools and 2) other tools designed to use one of these company's picks. Listed below are other tools that we know for a fact fit our Ice Hawk Picks. If you have any questions on whether our picks will fit your tool, please reach out to info@beartoothalpine.com
