Three different head configurations pick adze, pick hammer, pick only allow the tool to be optimized for the objective. The single curve shaft is optimized with the angle of the pick for solid performance on technical ice and for use as a cane. Carabiner holes at the head and spike accommodate traditional leashes or lanyards. For steep ice climbing, it is possible to change the standard X Alp grip with the X Dry grip and spike. The X Trigger Fast pommel included is adjustable without tools. The hammer and adze components have been shaped for a comfortable grip and the pick does not have teeth near the shaft to further increase comfort and help prevent wear and tear on gloves. This is a great 3rd tool. The trigger is adjustable for changing hand location easily. The head on this tool has a unique wear indicator mark on the pick end.
