Has anyone managed to put the updated model through its paces for a lot of Scottish (or alpine) mixed climbing?
I'm looking at updating my axes for this season and after 5 years with a pair of DMM Switches I'd be tempted to buy them again but I think I'd rather have something a bit lighter this time round and better for climbing ice as well. Slightly concerned with the durability issues of previous Nomic models and potential for the spike to break but there's ways round that part. I vowed not to buy Petzl tools again after my last pair wobbling but I can get a good deal on a pair this time round.
I've read a few reviews but most of them seem to be focused on pure ice climbing rather than mixed.
