↑ 044: Chouinard Zero X

• Made in USA [mid–1980s].
• 44x20 cm.
• Aluminum/Graphite/Fiberglass Shaft.
• Semi-modular head with carabiner hole.
• Hammer head.
• Modular waterfall ice pick with a negative-clearance chisel tip and with 4 notches near tip then 7 teeth.
• Triangular plate spike.
• Equipped with an aftermarket Wild Country leash.
• The pick has a rounded tip that I consider unsatisfactory. I should file it to a positive clearance for waterfall ice. The flat spike pould provide excellent support for bracing while traversing moderate ice, but the hammer is a bit short for this.
