When the ice gets tough, the X-Dream ice axe and the Blade Runner crampon get going! The CAMP R&D team wanted to craft something special, and they did succeed, creating two highly innovative and performing tools, now a point of reference in the ice climbing world. The X-Dream ice axe, sporting a patented handle with a variable inclination, reached new standards of performance and versatility. The Blade Runner crampon combines the precision of horizontal structure tools with the rigidity and the efficiency of those bearing a vertical structure. We’re talking about two outstanding products, conceived to be used together, and will bring ice climbing to the next level.

CASSIN X-Dream
The X-Dream combines two tools in one – a fully optimized tool for technical ice and an aggressive dry tooling machine. This ice axe not only features 3 different picks (Ice, Mixed, Race) for various terrain, but it also incorporates a patented adjustment system in the ergonomic handle to fine tune the swing and torque even further. A quick turn of the allen bolt above the grip allows the tool to be switched between Dry and Ice positions by changing the angle of the handle in relation to the angle of the pick. In the Dry position, the handle kicks upward for a more down and out pull. The Ice position drops the handle for a more natural swing. Climbers can further refine the X-Dream with micro-adjustable trigger finger ledges and the X-Rest insert which adjusts the overall height of the handle.

CASSIN Blade Runner
The Blade Runner represents a new era in technical ice crampons. A wealth of innovative features combine to create a crampon that conforms to the ergonomics of modern boots, increases rigidity along the entire length of the crampon without decreasing dexterity or compromising fit, adapts to alpine conditions with a variety of front points and toe bail configurations. The patented heel slide integrates the linking bar with the heel piece for better torsional rigidity.
This allows the Blade Runner to offer the best of both worlds by combining the power and stability of vertical frame crampons with the precision and ease of adjustment of horizontal frame designs. The entire heel slide is constructed from proprietary Sandvik Nanoflex® steel that allows for a reduction in the thickness of the frame, thereby reducing weight while simultaneously increasing strength and providing the right amount of longitudinal flexibility for a precise fit on modern boots with more extreme rocker. The optional snow points convert the Blade Runner into all mountain machines.
