I upgraded from 2017 nomics to these, and the combo of the adjustable grip rest and the pur ice picks make it swing and stick a lot easier. These are my go to for vertical ice. The dagger and hammer are nice additions too. I wouldn't have wanted to take my old nomics on any alpine climbs, but these adjustments would make it more feasible.

I like a lot of climbing companies, and used a lot of different gear. One company that I have always been impressed with is Petzl. I love the design, durability, and functionality of the majority of their products. I purchased the Nomics mid season this last year and was able to get some good use out of them (mostly in Utah, but they preformed beautifully in Ouray and Telluride). Simply put, these axes are amazing. The grips are super comfortable, they have beautiful balance and swing, and they are solid when they stick. They don't do quite as well on lower angle stuff, but that's not what they were designed to do. I'm not going to be one of those guys that says that they made me climb a grade harder, but, in many ways, they made my climbing more enjoyable. If you're questioning whether or not you should spend the extra cash to get these things trust me, they're worth it.
