- Makes it impossible to lose the ice axe
- Leaves hands free
- Long when required
- Compact when required
An elastic sling system to avoid losing tools
when climbing on rock or ice. This solves the problem for climbers who love
climbing without a leash. The Single Spring is attached to the harness by
looping it through the tape ring over the harness itself. The small carabiner
is hooked onto the hole on the axe’s head when using it to lean on when walking
or through the hole on the spike when holding the shaft in traction. In both
cases it is impossible to lose the axe. The system allows the climber to swap
hands or tool easily without interfering with the manoeuvre thanks to it compactness
and the arm can be extended to its limit thanks to its elasticity. Compact
when required, long when required. Attention: the single spring must never
be used as a self belay for the climber or to belay a companion. Its strength
is limited to 200kg. The small carabiner has a maximum resistance of 750kg
and must never be used instead of a normal carabiner when climbing or belaying.
