Pros:
Comfortable Grip, Ergonomic, Good Balance, Lightweight, Safe
Cons:
Hard to pull out
Best Uses:
Challenging overhangs, Mixed climbing, Vertical Ice
Describe Yourself:
Avid Mountaineer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Add a bit of supertape above the fang for optimal grip. The placement is amazing for both grip positions. My only concern is that it is hard to pull the tools out. Detune the picks a little bit, filing down the front three teeth will make it easier.
