Kestrel Ice Tool

Carbon Kevlar Composite is a high-performance material made by combining carbon fibers and Kevlar fibers. This combination results in a lightweight yet incredibly strong tool that can withstand the rigors of ice climbing. The durability of this composite helps ensure that your ice climbing axes are reliable and can handle tough conditions without adding unnecessary weight, making your climbs safer and more efficient.

"Screaming Barfies" is a term used to describe the painful sensation climbers feel when their cold hands warm up too quickly. Our ice tools feature a carbon Kevlar shaft that does not retain heat like aluminum, which can help minimize the risk of this condition. By reducing heat retention, our tools allow for a more comfortable grip, helping you focus on your climb rather than discomfort.

The Epoxy Spray is a specialized coating applied to the handles of our ice tools to improve grip without adding extra weight. This strong adhesive material ensures that climbers maintain a secure hold, which is crucial for safety and control during climbs. With better grip, you can climb with confidence, knowing that your tools will stay firmly in your hands.

An Interchangeable Pick allows you to customize your ice climbing tool based on the specific conditions you will encounter. Different picks are designed for various terrains, such as mixed climbing or traditional ice climbing. This versatility means you can adapt your tool to optimize performance, ensuring you have the right equipment for every climb.

A Bent Shaft design enhances the swing and striking motion of the ice tool, allowing for a more natural and powerful action when hitting ice or rock. This ergonomic shape helps maximize efficiency and effectiveness during climbs, making it easier to place your tool securely and reducing fatigue over long ascents. The bent design can significantly improve your overall climbing experience.

Our ice climbing tools are designed with several safety-enhancing features, including the lightweight Carbon Kevlar Composite for durability, Epoxy Spray for improved grip, and Interchangeable Picks for adaptability to different conditions. Additionally, the Bent Shaft design allows for better control and efficiency. Together, these features help climbers maintain a secure hold, reduce discomfort, and adapt to various terrains, ultimately contributing to a safer climbing experience.
