Dru Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 GRIVEL COMPACT 3rd kicks ass on your dumb simond tool Quote
Colin Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Indeed, the Simond Fox is awesome. I did some research on these types of tools a while ago, and if I remember correctly: In order of lightest to heaviest (and worst to best at ice climbing): -Simond Fox -Charlet Moser Petit Loup -Camp Micro 1 -Grivel Compact 3rd Quote
layton Posted August 20, 2003 Author Posted August 20, 2003 Props to Colin I've been using it for 2 years now. Not only has my lil Fox sent pins in straight and true, it has gotten me up some super sketch approach ice that turned out to be way steeper than planned, and gardened out the thinnest of cracks. The pick is really nice and strong and has kept very sharp still, and the hammer really packs a punch for being so light. and you can shove it up your partners ass without him or her being too sore in the morning given the ether hangover.

iain Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 there does not appear to be a usa distributor of simond products, as I've looked for najas before. do you head to canada for that stuff Quote
