I have fairly big hands, and wear bigger gloves as a result. I do love the fact that Cassin have given the user the option. It’s a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. Some people like this because it allows for more accurate handling of the axe. Whether you like to rest your index finger on a trigger. This allows for your personal grip preference. The Cassin X-dream ice axe, comes with an adjustable finger ledge. You can climb mixed in ice-mode, but the other way around, it may feel much harder to remove the axes from the ice. And every little bit of energy saving, helps. This helps with saving that little bit of energy, on steep angled terrain. Meaning you can make it 5 degrees more or less aggressive, depending on whether you are climbing ice, or mixed. Or you can widen the axe head, with the head weights, to help aid jamming in certain cracks when going mixed climbing.Īn incredible feature on the Cassin X-Dream ice axe, is that you can adjust the angle of the handle. If, however, you are someone that likes a heavier head, especially for ice climbing, you can buy X-Dream head weights. Hence, the feeling of a lighter, and more agile axe. Although it is not lighter than some of its competitors, the weight has been more evenly distributed. The first thing that stands out about the Cassin X-Dream ice axe, is its weight. X-Trigger pommel attaches to the shaft for a third ledge.Micro-adjustable trigger finger ledges and X-Rest insert adjust the overall height and size of the handle.3 different picks (Mixte supplied as standard, Ice and Race can be purchased separately) provide further refinement for different styles of climbing.The handle is constructed from extreme cold resistant polymer laid over the hot-forged aluminum alloy spine.Ergonomic handle with patented adjustment system to change between Dry and Ice angles.Hyperlight, perfectly balanced, fully featured tool for technical dry, mixed and ice climbing.If you would like your own WINTER ADVENTURE, we provide an array of winter courses.
