The X-Dream Alpine is the new alpine climbing version of the
award-winning X-Dream ice tool. It features the same innovative design
and geometry that have made the X-Dream so popular, with the addition of
the new alpine handle that incorporates a spike designed for use in the
cane position. The standard Ice pick with integrated hammer makes the
X-Dream Alpine perfect for pounding pitons and clearing icicles. The
X-Trigger Fast shaft pommel provides an adjustable third grip position
for choking up high or matching on the tool, and a variety of inserts
allow the main grip to be modified both in volume and shape to
help climbers craft the perfect grip. The result is a fully optimized
tool for technical ice, mixed climbing, and adventurous alpine terrain.
The most innovative feature on the X-Dream Alpine remains with the
angle-adjustable handle that allows climbers to switch between Dry and
Ice positions. Turn the Allen bolt above the grip to switch between the
two positions. In the Dry position, the handle rotates upward for a more
downward and outward pull. The Ice position drops the handle for a more
natural swing and grip on slabby and vertical terrain.
All three picks feature the refined beak and tooth configuration that
CASSIN tools are known for. They are designed to provide solid sticks
with minimal penetration making them the perfect choice for brittle ice
and technical mixed terrain. The included Ice pick delivers a swing that
is very similar to the popular X-All Mountain tool with a little extra
head weight from the small hammer. The optional Race pick is designed to
be used with the regular X-Dream handle and features a sharp beak for
grappling with rock along with more aggressive teeth both on the
underside and topside of the pick. The optional Mixed pick is a blend
between the two with similar angles to the Ice pick but only a small
hammer plate and teeth reaching further down the shaft like the Race
pick.
