| Stumbled across this blurb on DMM's site. DMM will proudly be showcasing their new ‘all mountain’ range of ice axes at ISPO Munich 2012, 29th January – 1st February. The five axes include the perfect winter walking axe right through to the ultimate full-strength leashless technical tool. Also being unveiled will be a modern leash system, new winter protection, colour coded screwgate carabiner packs and a totally new range of camming devices. More details will follow once ISPO is underway. The DMM Team will be taking the new products around the country to show retailers on their return from Germany. All new cams from DMM? Anyone heard of this? LINK |  FLAG |

| Nice find! I'll be very curious to see what their new cams are like. |  FLAG |

| If you go to their products page, the thumbnail also shows the new axes they'll be introducing. It looks like they have modular heads and pick weights--someone's gunning for Petzl tools. dmmclimbing.com/products/ Look at the thumbnail for the ISPO show video. |  FLAG |

| this is why Excalibur annoys me to no end by not coming to the Winter OR show...no DMM product on the floor. Guess I'll have to make sure to hit the DMM booth in August to get my hands on whatever they've got coming down the pipe! |  FLAG |

Naw, heard from Simon Marsh at DMM a while back that they were working on upgrading their small cam range after I commented that the 3cu needed an update. Betting they've hot forged cams and redesigned the head of a single axel design, we'll see how many cams and what kind of stem. |  FLAG |

| Seriously?? The only "new" thing here is color anodized lockers. And really, who actually cares? The ice gear looks like almost exact copies of existing Petzl and BD tools, and the cams combine the worst of what DMM has to offer into one. Unless they manage to make them really, really cheap (which isn't normally the DMM way), nothing to see here. |  FLAG |

| Tech Friends with an extandable sling. Good luck selling those at a new retail price when the Friends were closed out last year for dirt cheap at times. |  FLAG |

| I wonder why they only anodize the inner lobes? Seems like if you were just going to do two, the outer ones would be easier to locate and id. |  FLAG |

| They say they reversed the cams so as to more easily distinguish these from Dragons when racked together. |  FLAG |

| I agree. I was hoping for something more innovative. Tech Friend lobes on the Dragon stems |  FLAG |

| Anyone hear anything about new ice screws? Im in the market and would LOVE to have the revolution screws with a faster setting mechanism then a blunt bulge of metal. |  FLAG |
