Product Description

Charlet Moser's Pulsar, introduced in 1984, was a significant improvement over the first widely distributed real ice tool, the Simond Chacal that many old-time climbers still remember with nostalgia. A few years later, CM introduced the first bent shaft, and then an interchangeable shaft system which make it possible to use three different shafts (short straight, short curved, long). The latter system appears to be as reliable and solid as a normal tool. They also had for a few years a lighter version of the Pulsar with a straight hollowed shaft which has an excellent balance.
CM's Pulsars are well-proven tools, and have been used on some of the hardest climbs ever.

kovarpaMy first real tools

Voted 5/5

and still good enough for what I do. Quite heavy but that can help with the swing. I actually really like the CM leashes.

tommiMy first ice tools

Voted 5/5

My first ice tools for many years. I changed them this year but i really loved them. If you ever used the Pulsar you know how comfortable the new and modern ice tools are. Every year i had bloody finger backs because of the contact to the ice.
They are really a bit more heavy than modern ones, but still great.
