The new range of DMM axes all feature T-Rated Integrity Construction. All components are T rated throughout & the tools feature double riveting & high quality materials. Hot forged handles are encased with super grippy, insulating & durable integrated mouldings. The Raptor features a modular aggressive Alpine pick to deal with steep couloirs, ridges & glacier work, yet it will still work effectively when self arresting. The large modular adze is strong enough to hack through the hardest of ice or frozen ground when hacking out steps or belay ledges. A gently curving shaft allows extra clearance when swinging yet still allows easy plunging into deep snow. A brilliant technical mountaineering axe from the Welsh Wizards at DMM.
