With the NOMIC, climbers can ascend ice with the fluidity and freedom of rock climbing. A high performance tool perfect for all climbers.
- Three ways to grip the handle.
- Weight is distributed towards the tip of the pick: efficient swing, powerful striking and precise placements.
- Pick designed to correspond to the handle's multiple grips: each grip position corresponds to a specific tooth on the pick for increased holding power, geometry is engineered to reduce pick shift when changing hand positions, stable placements.
- Grip size can be adjusted: three positions to accommodate different hand sizes or glove combinations.
- GRIPTAPE on the upper handle provides better grip and thermal insulation.
- Pick weights can be removed to lighten tool.

Voted 5/5 | I can't believe nobody has reviewed these yet considering they've been out for a few years. I got these back in Sept 07 and have been using them all season so far. These are my first set of leashless tools. I demoed a ton of tools pryor to settling on the Nomics. I found their versatility and ergonmics light years ahead of the rest. First, they perform better on steep WI than any tool I've ever used. They have a steep approach angle which promotes a wristy swing, a real boon when you are trying to stay efficient on a long pitch of steep ice. On mixed they are extremely stable, allowing you to pull down on the tiniest of holds and keeping the force vector straight over the tip. I've climbed up to M8+ in these and can say that only one tool I've used bests them in mixed - the BD Fusion. But the latter does not perform nearly as well on ice.
My ice/mixed skill has skyrocketed this season, in large part due to this tool. Simply put, it is the best piece of gear I own. | | Posted Feb 27, 2008 11:26 am |
