Description

The EDELBEAKs are special, hardened steel beaks for the most extreme placements in thin cracks in all types of rock. They offer reasonable protection and help users progress during technical climbs in demanding alpine terrain. Their sophisticated shape and three sizes make the beaks highly versatile and suitable for placement in icy cracks, frozen turf, or microcracks. They can also grip the smallest ledges as hooks. The cut-outs on the head and shaft reduce the weight while the large, flat back enables the beaks to be hammered in quickly and effortlessly. The Tech Web sling with a Dyneema® core and polyester sheath has a breaking load of 17 kN and enables placement in dihedrals. The second carabiner opening in the head reduces the torsional forces in horizontal placements and makes the beaks easier to stow on the harness or gear loop.

• Large surface area on the back for easy hammering in plus additional protrusions on the head and carabiner eyelet for simpler removal
