Productdetails

The DMM Cortex Ice Axe is a premium tool well suited to the most out-there mixed, ice, and dry tooling routes. The exoskeleton I-Beam profile is CNC'd from a single aluminium billet, achieving an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and delivering a perfectly balanced swing.

Weighing only 589g, the Cortex is a super lightweight ice axe option for use on the most technical terrain, whether that be ice, mixed or dry-tooling. The upper and lower handles have a textured polymer over-moulding to help with insulation and grip whilst the stripped down shaft ditches any unnecessary metal to reduce weight without compromising on strength and durability.

The Type 2 T rated picks are modular and customisable to your needs. The Cortex comes with the Tech Ice Pick and a Compact Hammer.

Features

• One piece design: CNC milled from a single aluminium billet creating a very strong, lightweight, and superbly balanced Ice tool.

• I-Beam design: Mirroring the technology used on our premium I Beam carabiners we have removed unnecessary metal creating the striking exoskeleton I Beam profile, distributing the weight carefully. The result is a perfectly balanced swing.

• Ergonomic moulded handles: Upper and lower handles have a textured polymer over moulding helping with insulation and grip. The handle has a clip-in hole for Shadow, Phantom or Phantom HMS screw gates, and an attachment point accommodates cord up to 5mm for clipping leashes.

• Modular pick system: The Type 2 T rated picks are modular and customisable to your needs. The Cortex comes with the Ice Tech pick, Micro Hammer, and pick weights. DMM offers three interchangeable picks, two hammers and one adze that are compatible with the Cortex, Apex and Vertex.
