I made the switch to these 3 years ago and my goodness I'm stoked I did! These are by far the best for steep ice or mixed terrain. The picks are interchangeable and you can pick which one you want depending on your climb. These climb WI4 or above extremely well. Under WI3 I would advise using a less aggressive tool. Regardless try these and you'll be happy you did!
