Ice climbing axe NOMIC

The NOMIC is the benchmark ice axe for ice climbing and dry tooling. Perfectly balanced, it provides an excellent swing. The PUR’ICE pick allows for effective placement regardless of the ice type. The pick’s geometry and double handle offer multiple grip options, as well as confident switching between hands. Comfortable grip thanks to the ergonomic handle and the GRIPREST support. Equipped with a minimalist hammer that protects the head and allows for driving in pitons. Thanks to the modular head design, it can be adapted to various uses.

Effective placement regardless of ice type:

• perfect geometry and balance for an excellent swing,
• easier placement thanks to the shaft bent under the head,
• the PUR’ICE pick, tapered at the tip (3 mm), ensures excellent penetration in all types of ice, including the hardest,
• a tapered upper edge provides stable support when the pick is inverted,
• swing and balance of the pick are optimized thanks to the BALANCERS.
• Comfortable grip adapted to technical ice climbing:
• Multiple grip options and stable hand switching thanks to the double handle (upper and lower),
• Offset lower handle to protect hands from contact with ice and provide greater comfort when hanging,
• Coated upper handle offers multiple grip options and protects against cold,
• Hydroformed shaft ensures optimal grip in the middle.
