Xdream ice tool plus#
The blades, characterized by the exceptional penetration that has always distinguished CASSIN tools, guarantee excellent performance even on rock: the standard Ice blade is optimized for a more precise and effective strike the Mixte blade is the most versatile and the Race and Total Dry blades, mounted in combination with the X-Dream handle without tip, are the non plus ultra for mixed, extreme dry-tooling and competitions. The Ice configuration, with angles of 48 ° and 100 ° respectively, ensures a more natural strike and extraordinary penetration while the Dry configuration, with angles of 60 ° and 105 ° (more closed geometry), guarantees greater downward traction allowing the most complex hooks and ensuring exceptional grip comfort in suspensions.Īt the handle level, the special interchangeable and reversible X-Finger Small and X-Finger Large inserts allow micrometric adjustment at the index finger, while the X-Rest insert allows you to reduce the length of the hilt by 5 mm. A simple Allen key, included in the package, allows you to quickly vary the angle of the handle and the blade from the vertical, taking the X-Dream Alpine from Ice to Dry configuration. Versatility is guaranteed by the interchangeable blades and above all by the patented variable angle handle: a masterpiece of ergonomics in ultra-resistant material even at the lowest temperatures. With the X-Dream Alpine it's like having two ice axes in one. The handle with tip guarantees greater stability when the ice ax is used in vertical support, while the X-Trigger Fast optimizes use on terrain of any angle. The Alpine version comes standard with some accessories for a more mountaineering use: the Ice blade and the hammer make it the ideal choice for north faces, goulottes and mixed routes at high altitude. X-Dream is the tool that makes the dream of having two ice axes in one come true, with all the ideal features for ice, mixed and dry-tooling.

The Mixte and Ice picks can be used alone or with the hammer or adze. The Ice pick brings the tip 6 mm closer to the handle, but maintains the same angle as the Mixte pick. The X-Dream comes standard with the Mixte pick. They are designed to provide solid sticks with minimal effort making them the perfect choice for brittle ice and technical mixed terrain. All four picks feature the refined beak and tooth configuration CASSIN tools are known for. Climbers can further refine the X-Dream with micro-adjustable trigger finger ledges (choose from two inserts – the X-Finger Small or the X-Finger Large – that can be flipped over to adjust the position) and the X-Rest insert which adjusts the overall height of the handle.

The Ice position drops the handle for a more natural swing on ice. Use the allen bolt above the grip to switch between Dry and Ice positions In the Dry position, the handle kicks upward for a more down and out pull. This amazing ice axe not only features four different T rated picks for various terrain, but it also incorporates a patented adjustment system in the handle to fine tune the swing and pull even further. The Cassin X-Dream combines two tools in one – a fully optimized tool for technical ice and an aggressive dry tooling machine.
