Not that I'm particularly looking to buy: more a case of being curious and you never know I may splash the cash some day.

What would anyone use as a hammer partner for a DMM Cirque?

I already have a pair of technical tools for Winter use but have a Cirque (55cm) for hill walking and Alpine use. However, it crossed my mind that it would be good to have a similar weight and length hammer for steeper Alpine routes when 2 axes are required and would be useful for mates to borrow who are starting out.

Raptor seems the obvious choice but lacks the bend. Saw a yellow thing in Tiso the other day that was a similar Alpine shape but hd a ridiculously small hammer.

The yellow thing was a Grivel Air Tech evolution (not sure why I typed "Alpine shape" above mind you)

In reply to duntelchaig midge: look out for an old mt tech hammer on fleabay or get a third tool
