Top Wing is a very technical ice tool. Its radically curved shaft allows hooking in any situation: modern mixed, dry tooling, genuine grade 7 ice.



Explore the upper limits of winter climbing. The modular head is hot-forged. The shaft has 20 cm of clearance, allowing a long reach over virtually any cauliflower or into any pocket. The clearance is especially useful when pulling over a roof.



The shaft is covered with non-slip grip material. An adjustable “trigger” distributes weight onto the strongest finger and the ergonomic “pommel” supports the hand, designed specifically for leashless climbing.



Leashless: the last frontier on ice - fast, fun, and free.



The Tail allows the climber to quickly stash the tool on a sling, pocket or gear loop, freeing the hand to place gear or clip the rope.



Choose the Mixte Pick "over the top" strength.

Choose the Cascade Pick for high performance.
