Ice Axes & Ice Hammers
Ice Axes
↑ 503: DMM Fly
- Made in Wales [ca. 2010].
- 505x270 mm.
- Weight: 745 g.
- Aluminum Shaft.
- Shaft: 31x22 mm. (Grip: 36x26 mm.)
- Full modular head.
- Drooped adze with a curved edge and notched sides and a strong arch.
- Adze: 55(l)x56(w)x6(arch) mm.
- Waterfall ice pick (integrated with adze) with a positive-clearance chisel tip and with 6 small teeth near tip, then 3 large ones, then 7 U-shaped notches.
- Pick: 135(l)x31(h)x4(t) mm.
- Barbed triangular plate spike.
- Spike: 41(l)x41(w)x4(t) mm.
- Webbing loop sewn through hole in shaft.
- The replaceable head with integral pick is a cross between tradional designs and fully modular heads.
- While this allows replacing a broken pick without retiring the entire axe, it is not as flexible as fully modular designs where one can carry spare picks instead of a larger and more expensive pair of spare heads.
- Head is made of chrme molybdenum steel.
