With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Season:2024W A
Brand:DMM
Code:A0492
Features:
Updated and improved
The new Apex boasts excellent balance for ice climbing – improvements owed to less weight in the handle and tube, making it more top heavy. Pick weights are included, allowing the user to further tune the axe’s swing.
The refined shaft geometry also gives greater clearance and stability on steep terrain.
Durable and strong shaft
The shaft tube may be lighter, but durability and robust construction are still a priority for the Apex. Our tried and tested dual rivet and glue construction method is used on both the head and handle.
Improved lower rest and spike
Lighter one piece handle, lower rest and spike improves balance and swing. Additional spikes in lower trigger improve stability. Large clip in hole for Phantom, Phantom HMS and Shadow carabiners.
Modular pick system
The Type 2 T rated picks are modular and customisable to your needs. The Apex comes with the Ice Pick with either Compact Hammer or Adze. DMM offers three interchangeable picks, two hammers and one adze.
Pick features:
1: Head
Ice: Smooth head to improve in-hand comfort.
Ice Tech and Dry: Chicken head for additional bite and stability during stein pulls and
when the axe is inverted on less steep ground.
2: Chamfer
Ice and Ice Tech: Full top edge chamfer to improve penetration and removal from ice.
Dry: Chamfered at tip to improve penetration and removal from ICE at tip, but not running full length to improve durability when use against rock.
3: Modular pick system
Ice, Ice Tech, and Dry: Washer free, trochoid tool interface for long lasting secure and precise hammer and adze connection.
4: Pick Tapering
Ice and Ice Tech: Thickness tapers from 3.9mm at head to 3mm at tip.
Dry: No pick taper. 3.9mm thickness throughout for strength, stiffness and durability in aggressive use. The dry pick also has 1mm extra depth for added strength.
5: Tip
Ice: Optimised tip for penetration and durability.
Ice Tech: Pointier tip to compensate for steeper pick angle.
Dry: Hooked tip for stable placements on small edges.
6: Cauliflower spike
Ice Tech: Additional large spike for hooking large ice features.
