Petzl Nomic Ice Tool - Honest gear review

[@FlorencioParaon]

What belay system are you using on your wall, and what are you using on the wall for the boot spikes?

I'm new to the sport, the nomic came with an ice blade, the blade is also quite good for mixed climbing? or you reccomend a tool like the cassin x blade ?(they come with the mixte blade) . Because i don't want to buy an extra blade. I hope you understood my english.

Hey Luca, having an extra blade (ice pick) is not a bad idea if you are planning to climb ice and mixed routes or do some dry tooling. However, if you want to start with one set, I personally would go with "ice" or "pure ice" pick for Nomics. Ice picks work just fine on moderate mixed routes. You'd probably notice the difference only on harder routes (M5 and above). Mixed or Dry Tooling picks have more agressive teeth, which might make it harder to get them out of ice after a swing. The most important thing is to keep your picks sharp, maintaining the right geometry of the tip while sharpening them.
