Anyone notice the axes Ueli's was using for his new Eiger speed record? Looked like a cross between a quark and a nomic.

Must be the axes (or similar too) in the video below with a lightweight shaft (1.40).

Would be interested to know how much they weight.

Considering he promotes nomics as the best axes ever, I think I've only seen him use quarks (or similar too) for any speed records.

He is a very impressive climber though, I'm sure he'd get to the top with a pair of kitchen forks

Some of the stuff is one-off production/tweaked by him - need to get Ueli to answer!!

In reply to peter_ellwood: There#s a short film on Ueli's kitroom on the net somewhere - google it. They're a stretched nomic, not for sale.

anyone notice the jacket he wore? looks like mhw quasar with the forearms chopped off?

The ice axes Killian Jornet used on Denali last year are pretty sweet - a custom made carbon fibre thing.

Was he wearing these on his feet...? .
