Evolution Picks

[akicebum]

I'm curious if anyone has used the Grivel Evolution picks on the Ta-Koon. They seem like the would be a lot better suited on ice than the mixed pick, but still beefy enough for stout mixed. Your thoughts.

Evolution picks will fit in the head. but...

 

Evo picks were made for a different tool and have a different mountign angle. This might work for your style of drytooling, but I don't think you could get a decent swing into ice.

 

I've done some drytooling with the Cascade picks and it works pretty well.

Yeah, I climb mostly with the mixed, but some hairball thin ice pithes on top of difficult mixed terrain totally screwed me last year. Those cascade picks are sweet, but I climb like a moose and torque the living shit out of my tools. I have a cascade pick you could play horse shoes with. I've check out the evolution picks and swung alp lights, it seems like a good pick I just don't know how it would do with the kind of clearance you get with the Ta-Koon. Thanks for the reply.
