Raptor Alpine Axe (Fall 2021)
Description
Versatile, robust all-mountain snow and ice tool
The DMM Raptor Alpine Axe is a versatile tool for mountaineering, winter walking and classic climbs. Developed in conjunction with guides and mountaineering instructors, the Raptor is a classic tool that is built to last. The aggressive alpine picks deal easily with steep couloirs, ridges, glacier work and yet are still effective at self-arrests. The full size adze can cope with everything from cutting steps to chopping ledges, from bashing pegs to digging out belays. The gently curved shaft allows extra clearance whilst swinging and daggering, yet does not hinder hammering, step cutting, or plunging the tools.
