From your home crag to the high alpine, the Master Scratcher is purpose built for true mixed climbing. Tapered to 2.5mm before sharpening, it climbs ice better than stock pure ice picks but with 2x their durability.
Less aggressive angle for pure ice performance and solid purchase on the scratchiest of mixed terrain.
Front beak shaped for security on thin ice and longer out-of-the-box performance as you sharpen.
Unique, wear resistant metal choice for lifespan.
Top mohawk for steins and using tool as a functional cane on low angle ice and snow.
Bottom mohawk for increased stability and purchase in picked-out holes, shell ice, snice, and for hooking curtains and daggers.
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 Master Scratcher Picks. If you have any questions on whether our picks will fit your tool, please reach out to info@beartoothalpine.com
