CAMP – CASSIN: The Most Innovative Ice Tools

Published by Mountainblog on .

The most innovative ice climbing tools on the market pay homage to Riccardo Cassin, the mountaineering legend of the XX century. The X-Dream ice axe, with patented handle and adjustment system, has set new performance and versatility standards. The Blade Runner crampon marries the precision of horizontally framed instruments with the rigidity and accomplishment of those with horizontal frame. Albeit subsidiary tools, the X-Dream and Blade Runner pave the way to a new dimension in mixed and ice climbing for professionals and enthusiasts alike. For ultimate comfort, we recommend the use of the Laser CR harness.

ice climb axeCASSIN X-Dream
The X-Dream combines two tools in one – a fully optimized tool for technical ice and an aggressive dry tooling machine. This ice axe not only features 3 different picks (Ice, Mixed, Race) for various terrain, but it also incorporates a patented adjustment system in the ergonomic handle to fine tune the swing and torque even further. In the Dry position, the handle kicks upward for a more down and out pull. The Ice position drops the handle for a more natural swing. Climbers can further refine the X-Dream with micro-adjustable trigger finger ledges and the X-Rest insert. The Ice pick features the perfect amount of head weight for thin and brittle ice.

The Blade Runner represents a new era in technical ice crampons. A wealth of innovative features that increases rigidity without decreasing dexterity or compromising fit. The patented heel slide is constructed from proprietary Sandvik Nanoflex® steel and integrates the linking bar with the heel piece for better torsional rigidity. This allows the Blade Runner to combine the power and stability of vertical frame crampons with the precision and ease of adjustment of horizontal frame designs. The optional snow points convert the Blade Runner into all mountain machines. Weight: 1015 g (910 g without anti-balling plates)

The Laser CR incorporates an advanced laminate construction, contoured cut, extra padding, adjustable leg loops and a haul loop. The waist and leg loops are constructed from laser cut webbing fixed to a laminated structure of 3 mm foam padding and soft 3-dimensional honeycomb mesh.
The exterior fabrics are designed to withstand the abrasion typical of big routes. The patented No Twist belay loop is great during belays and rappels. The Laser CR is truly a marvel with its exceptional blend of comfortable padding, ergonomic contours, and big route features.
