We’ve put these two tools together as they are both of the same ilk. The one with the glass fibre shaft is an early production (circa 1974) version of a Lowe Alpine Systems Hummingbird Ice Hammer, so called because the tubular pick resembles the beak of a hummingbird. The other is a later version, we suspect 1985 or thereabouts. Like many gear creators, Lowe outsourced production of their tools to Camp, an Italian company, which branched out worldwide, making their own gear as well as producing stuff for other folk. The Hummingbird, hollow pick, idea was popular with waterfall ice climbers since it tended to fracture the ice less. Scottish climbers were not so keen, preferring to smash the ice around a bit to get placements!
