Description
Technical axes for ice climbing, mixed climbing, and dry tooling. Very light, with G-bone carbon-composite shaft and full carbon handle, extremely well balanced, the Dark Machine is designed mainly for ice climbing.
Very light at only 490 grams, the geometry offers a higher center of gravity (more towards the head), which allows a much better swing.
The head is compatible with VARIO Blade System, an innovative light and modular system for interchangeable blades and accessories: naked, mini-hammer, hammer and adze on all blade options.

"I have been using this tool since last winter and I can honestly say, it's the best ice climbing tool I have ever used. It's incredibly light and balanced. Every person that has thrown my set has been amazed and basically said: “take my moneyâ€. The new Vario picks slice into the ice like butter. Get your hands on a set at your local shop or attend one of the many ice festivals this winter to demo. You will not be disappointed." Aaron Mulkey
