The Rage is a light, reliable tool that has proven itself a favorite of alpine climbers who demand reliability and performance. With its modular, investment-cast steel head and lightweight 7075-extruded shaft this tool can do it all, be it the Super Couloir or a jaunt up the Great White Icicle. Climbers just entering the realm of ice and mixed lines will appreciate the Rage's affordability—while all climbers will appreciate the Rage's Titan Pick. This pick delivers secure sticks with its deep front teeth and cleaves the ice with its aggressive hooking teeth. A high-style tool at a handsome price. *Available with hammer or adze, both are pictured, a set is composed of one axe with either a hammer or adze.

Bottom Line: A versatile tool that alpine climbers and those on a budget love.

Good tool for alpine and ice

My wife and I have used these tools for lots of ice and alpine climbing. The Grip suits itself to smaller hands very well and the relatively straight shaft, compared to other tools, allows for a very easy swing; especially when you’re pumped stupid. They plunge well in the snow when you’re on alpine routes. Because the shaft doesn’t have much of a curve they do not hook as well on beat-out routes or mixed climbing. If you’re doing a ton of bullet-hard ice, however, they are a dream to swing.
