In reply to ShortLock:
Covers it well, thanks. I think my concern is that it wouldn't be effective on neve/ice; it appears neither particularly pointy nor particularly substantial, and I was a bit apprehensive.
Having had another look at them I don't think they're quite what I'm looking for though. The lack of an upper griprest puts me off a bit as i want a single set of tools that'll cover me for all of the (moderate) climbing I do - alpine ice, alpine mixed and Scottish ice and mixed. I think I might eventually outgrow the lack of an upper griprest and I don't intend on buying another set of tools for a while. The ridiculous upper teeth on the ice pick look annoying too (anyone know the reasoning behind these?).
That said, I'd like to give them a swing at least. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK which stocks them in an actual shop?
