This week’s Pick of the Week is the new X-Dream</a> ice axe from Cassin, an axe designed for steep ice or technical mixed terrain. The X-Dream axes are really lightweight but have a lovely feel to them, with enough weight in the picks to swing well.<br /> <br />Attention to detail can be seen throughout the X-Dream: The picks are laser cut, while the head of the axe has been hot-forged for strength, with a small hammer on the head to add the perfect weight for thin brittle ice.<br /><br />Find out more here</a>.
