asterix Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Anyone used these ice-axe? What are your opinion and how do they compare to other ice-axes (Aztar, Cobra, Quark) Quote
Dru Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Did you invent them or are you just being paid to viral market Quote
MCash Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 They are very similar to the Quarks, and are just as good in my opinion. The advantage is the price, you can get them for much less than Quarks. They are made in Czechoslovakia, and have held up well for me so far. I've used the "Super Cup" version of them for the last 2 years. That model has the forefinger and pinky rests. Leashes are only decent though. The Quark, Easy G, and Rage leashes are signifcantly better in my opinion. Here is a photo of the Demon Super Cup. Quote
Rodchester Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 They are made in Czechoslovakia, and have held up well for me so far. Which one, Czech or Slovakia. They have been two differnt countries for, what? About 15 years now? Two different peoples. Quote
pu Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Hmmm, let's say I go climbing at way honed area with my new Raveltek tools and I break a pick. How many stores do you think I will have to go to in order to acquire a spare pick for my off brand tools while on my roadtrip. They are cheaper and they do climb similar to Quarks. I suggest that if you choose to purchase them you stock up on accessories so you have stuff when your local shop decides to drop the line. Quote
PONCHO&LEFTY Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Which one, Czech or Slovakia. They have been two differnt countries for, what? About 15 years now? Two different peoples. But I was always told I'm Czechoslovakian, so am I Slovak, or Czech now? Quote

MCash Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Well, I looked in the user guide last night, and they are made in the Czech Republic. I guess I should keep up on that stuff. Good point Joe on the picks. I'll have to get some spares from Lan. Quote
