The DMM Cortex is the result of a meticulous study to create one of the most versatile and lightweight technical ice axes on the market. Its one-piece design, CNC machined from a single block of aluminum, offers perfect balance and an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
Inspired by DMM's I-Beam carabiners, unnecessary material has been removed to create a distinctive profile that distributes weight across the entire length of the tool, achieving a perfectly balanced swing. The ergonomic grip features a textured polymer coating that improves insulation and grip, extending across the handle for easy use on less vertical terrain.
Characteristics:
- One-piece I-Beam construction machined by CNC for maximum lightness and strength.
- Certified as a Type 2 (T) technical ice axe.
- Modular pike system to adapt to different terrains and climbing styles.
- Includes Ice Tech and Micro-Hammer pike, ideal for ice and mixed climbing.
- Ergonomic handle with polymer coating for a secure and insulated grip.
- Anchor point for carabiner and an additional attachment point for 4-5 mm cords.
- Possibility of adding weights on the head to increase inertia in the stroke.
