DMM Apex Adze Mountaineering Ice Axe

Despite its aggressive appearance, the Apex is comfortable across a wide variety of terrain. The shaft curve has been precisely designed to give clearance and stability on steep ground while remaining effective when plunging, daggering and moving on easier angled snow slopes.

The Apex is fully T rated, and the head and handle are double riveted onto the lightweight aluminium shaft. This robust construction lets the Apex handle the burly nature of winter climbing

The hot forged handle also strikes a balance between performance and versatility. A straight design with a spike on the base makes plunging the Apex into the snow and ice easily when moving on less steep terrain. The upper and lower hand rests allow hand matching, crucial to the Apexs performance on steeper ground.
