Main Project Progress – Three Position Ice Tools

Today’s post will be light on words and heavy on progress.

Over the past week, the tools have gone from vague amorphous math, solid works designs, and flimsy 3D prints to the beginnings of the real thing. There’s lots of work to still be done in finishing them and making them usable, refined, and aesthetic. As they are though, they are absolutely gorgeous and just super compelling objects to hold and handle. They make me so excited to test, climb, adventure, and compete on them.

Massive thanks to Elvin C. for this step, we worked on our designs entirely separately and they will embody our own aesthetics in the end, but I absolutely could not have manufactured them without his dedication and expertise.
