CollinWoods Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Does any one know if the CAMP Awax Ice Tool would be good for waterfall ice climbing and ice climbing, i wasent sure since its is CAMP and that its so lightwaight. Quote
EastCoastBastard Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) I don't own a pair, but I have used them and they are sweet! They are a bit lightweight without the head weights (included, I believe). Really nice tools, good clearance, nice pick, comfy grip. Cheap too. Camp may have made some lousy stuff in the past, but their current line of ice gear is excellent. Edited October 21, 2008 by EastCoastBastard Quote
KathyS Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I used a pair for a day for waterfall ice climbing. They're light and swing well, but are hard to clean from the ice. Really hard. Had me wishing for my heavier but more user-friendly Quarks. Dunno if they can be tuned to clean easier. I'm told the handles can get very cold because the rubber grip does not go all the way around the handle. The pair I borrowed had added grip tap, and I didn't have an issue with them being cold, but it was not bitterly cold that day. Quote
