Available as a stand-alone item, the DMM Slide Lock Leash is suitable for axes up to 55cm long. Employing a minimalist design for improved functionality and durability, the Slide Lock Leash is intuitive to use and operable with one hand.

The Grivel Tech Machine Ice Simple Vario is aimed at steep and overhanging climbs where the angled shaft, and reverse positive blade will help you up the route. The handle is ergonomic and well insulated to help with comfort on the climb and has a spike on the end for topping out and the approach. To increase usability the blade is interchangeable, and when paired with a mix pick, can take a hammer or shovel.

The DMM Grippy tape allows the user to customise the grip on ice tools. Can also be used to replace worn out or damaged hand grips. To use simply remove the backing tape and apply tightly around the shaft or handle; keeping the tape taut but not too stretched.

The Black Diamond Cobra Viper Android Leash has been designed specifically for the Cobra and Viper ice tools.

It is also fitted with a padded wrist strap to help reduce any rubbing and skin aggravation, whilst evenly distributing the weight load.

The Petzl Nomic is designed to take on serious ice and mixed climbs the Petzl Nomic has allowed climbers to push the limits of the winter game and with the new improved Nomic this looks set to continue. The new 2011/12 design has kept the same shaft and pick angle as the original Nomic but has had the handle improved with an adjustable grip rest to give a better ergonomic feel (when first released in early 2011 there where some problems with the adjustable grip rest but this has now been fixed by the Petzl boffins).
