Your favorite ergonomic ice tool...

[Chad_A]

Just spent some time (not enough) with my Quark Ergos @ Hyalite last weekend. PURE FAWKING JOY. Very efficient, and oh man, so much fun.

 

Had a chance to play with some Reactors. Not my style thus far (I like a bit more head weight). Fusions look like they might be good, and I liked the way they felt when I dry tooled with them.

 

Post your preferences of Ergo tools, why you like them, and the technique (particular to the tool) you learned with swinging them into ice.

 

Happy ice climbing, and happy holidays

I've been impressed with the X-Monsters. These are the more moderate "little brother" of the Monsters. They swing great into the ice and can hook through icicles with it's flat shaft. They are also really great for dry-tool'n and mixed stuff. I haven't used the BD ergo style tools yet, but compared to the Quark ergo's I'd have to say they have them beat.
