Great Axes I bought the pair of axes and have been very happy with them. Though not used extensively, I have I've been impressed with their performance on both ice and mixed. They feel solid and have a nice weight and motion to the swing. They also plunge and dagger well. One very slight negative is that the picks seem to be wearing quite quickly. 08 April 2013

DDM's Apex Hammer is a new, radically curved technical tool for hard icefalls and modern mixed climbing. The Apex is a superbly balanced precision tool ready to tackle steep ice, massive mountain routes and mixed test pieces. The curved shaft provides an ergonomic hand position and impressive clearance around bulging ice. Can be used with leashes in traditional climbing mode, but excels without leashes for the more modern approach. The new one piece T rated Ice and Mixed picks cover all bases.
