Product Overview

High-end dry tooling and ice climbing axe

The ERGO is the ultimate tool for the most difficult dry tooling pitches and the most unlikely ice columns.

The ultra-curved shaft offers exceptional clearance under the head and allows a wider repertoire of movement.

The adjustable ergonomic handle allows multiple grip positions and limits the risk of pick shift when switching hands. The strong curve of the handle creates an ideal angle for prolonged suspensions and significantly increases power when pulling.

Some aspects of mountaineering and related activities, including but not limited to technical rock, ice, and snow climbing, are potentially hazardous and dangerous. Any person using our equipment in any manner is personally responsible for learning the proper techniques involved, and assumes all risks and accepts full and complete responsibility for any and all damages and injury of any kind, including death, which may result from the use of any equipment purchased through this website. Books like this one can help but they are no substitute for personal instruction by a qualified person well versed in all appropriate safety techniques.

  • Ergonomic molded handle offers multiple grip options. The length of the handle may be adjusted to fit the size of the hand and glove.
  • Specific shape of the shaft and the handle limits the risk of pick shift when switching hands
  • Fully modular head for adapting the ice axe to the activity and context: - equipped with MASSELOTTES pick weights, the ERGO ensures precise, efficient purchase in the ice - without the MASSELOTTES pick weights, the ERGO becomes considerably lighter for dry tooling - equipped with a HAMMER (optional), the ERGO can be used to place pitons
  • Interchangeable DRY pick is tapered at the tip (3 mm) for easy penetration, even in cold ice. The thickness of the pick (4 mm) makes it stronger when slotted and torqued. The hooking teeth, located on the bottom and top (for reverse positions) stabilize the ice axe.
  • GRIPTAPE on the upper handle provides better grip and thermal insulation
  • Serrated blade under the GRIPREST for better hold coming out of steep sections in hard snow or ice
  • Third adjustable handle with TRIGREST hand rest for climbing even higher, when hooking makes it possible, or for switching hands more easily
  • Weight: 645 g
  • Sold with : - type T DRY pick (U19 DRY), - MASSELOTTES pick weights (U21600), - TRIGREST and GRIPREST
