The back part, that protrudes slightly, serves as a small hammer. The most versatile of them is the mixed, with a geometry and teeth that guarantee excellent performance both on ice and rock. Its leaves, manufactured with the precision that has always distinguished CASSIN ice axes, are designed with versatility in mind. The special handle tape is ideal for ice climbs, because it ensures a perfect grip even when wet. Y, let's keep talking about the grip, because the special interchangeable and invertible X-Finger Small and X-Finger Large triggers allow micrometric adjustment with respect to the index finger, an absolutely new option, and the X-Rest trigger offers the possibility of reducing its length by 5 mm. for the details has led to review the design of the grip, that from 2013 presents a superior support of reduced dimensions, to take up less space and ensure greater functionality. The Ice configuration, with 48 ° and 100 ° angles, ensures a more natural progression and extraordinary penetration, while the Dry setting, with angles of 60 ° and 105 ° (that is to say, with a more closed geometry), ensures greater downward traction, allowing for a more complex hitch and ensuring exceptional suspension grip comfort. A simple Allen screw allows you to quickly vary the inclination of the handle and the blade with respect to the vertical, to switch the X-Dream from Ice to Dry configuration and vice versa. A work of art when it comes to ergonomics, made of ultra-resistant materials even at the lowest temperatures. Ultralight and extremely balanced: the essential tool for ice climbing, mixed and dry-tooling Patented ergonomic handle with variable inclination, made with ultra-resistant materials capable of withstanding the lowest temperatures and, now as a novelty in the 2021, with superior support of reduced dimensions to occupy less space and offer better performance 3 interchangeable blades (Mixed montada as standard, Ice and Race can be ordered separately) for exceptional versatility 2 interchangeable triggers (X-Finger Small y X-Finger Large) to allow micrometric adjustment of the grip with respect to the index finger X-Rest trigger to reduce the length of the grip by 5 mm X-Trigger third support on the X-Dream handle: the perfect name for the tool that makes the dream of having two ice axes in one come true, with all the ideal features for ice climbing, mixta y el dry-tooling.Ī versatility guaranteed by 3 interchangeable blades (Mixed montada as standard, Ice and Race can be ordered separately) class T and, especially, by the patented grip with various inclinations. I love these tools and don't have even an ounce of envy while looking at the other contenders.Ice blade fitted as standard, new handle with knob and third support X-Trigger Fast adjustable without tools. It quickly began to peel however, this was an easy fix, and I ended up replacing it all with rubber sealing tape from the local hardware store. The only thing I found to be a flaw was the grip-tape they use on the shaft. It was very easy to maintain a openhanded grip. Due to the combination of its light weight, penetration, and comfortable natural grip, I never found myself death gripping the tools. At the same time, soft placements onto bare rock feel extremely stable and secure. It is super comfortable to hold and hang on to, providing a lot of confidence for both the brute force and delicate balance needed on mixed routes.Ī swift confident swing into the ice feels like poking a sharp knife into an apple it just bites right in. Everyone first comments on how much lighter these tools feel compared to their own, followed by how easy it is to make the tools stick. So far, everyone who has picked it up has really loved how it performs.


The Cassin X-Dream really lives by its name.
