Enjoy the benefits and freedom of leashless climbing without the risk of losing your tools with the Freedom Ice Axe Leash from DMM, perfect for both beginner and advanced climbers tackling long committing routes and all-around winter climbing.
The small loop halfway down the Freedom Leash is for emergency self-rescue. It allows the climber to attach a carabiner and pull back up to the axes if they lose their grip and fall into space whilst the axes stay buried in the ice – pulling up the leash without this would be pretty hard, especially with thick gloves on.
NB1: These wire gate carabiners are available to buy separately and are not included with the leash. NB2: This item is purely intended as a leash to prevent dropping your tools - At no point must it be relied upon to provide security e.g. for use in a belay.
DMM is an awesome recreational climbing and mountaineering equipment company from Llanberis North Wales. Founded in 1981 they still make and test all their gear from home.
