Hi all - newbie here.
I saw the article on ice tools on the front page but wondering if people can weigh in an ice tool like the Ergo vs. one like the Nomic / BD Cobra.
My understanding is that a tool like the Ergo is more for vertical waterfall ice but the Nomic is more for alpine terrain and perhaps more versatile. Is that accurate? (I'm just using the Petzl brand tools for lumping them in categories)
I'm looking for a set that is better for steep alpine routes instead of vertical waterfall ice. Maybe there isn't much of a difference but I'm curious to get some more insight. thanks for your input!
