Trango Captain Hook ice axe

$179.99

Trango's Captain Hook is one mean tool. The investment-cast stainless steel head will accept a WaffleHammer ™ or a the Fighting Adze™ and the picks are ready-to-go when you get the tool. The droop is right for swinging and hooking, the teeth have the right side-bevel for easy removal, and the profile of the last tooth has that nasty little hook on it that won’t blow when you’re cranking off a tiny little drool of ice.
Trano uses a proprietary process to vulcanize the sticky rubber grip to the lower shafts so they’ll never come loose. Plus, you can customize the fit with a sharp knife without destroying the grip. The “Hook” is supplied with either a Hammer or Adze and the appropriate pick. Although available in three shaft styles, we only carry the Clearance Shaft: The bend is at the top for clearing bulges and hooking icicles. Great for big ice. Rounded platform grip for control and support.
