DMM Bulldog

Protection on winter climbs is typically limited, forcing you to make the most of any available option. The DMM Bulldog can be used in many features thrown up in winter. Primarily a drive in anchor that finds strong placements in frozen turf and mud, it can also be placed into hooks in the ice created by your axe, and can even be hammered into cracks and seams like a peg.

A long flat plate on the back of the Bulldog creates a good area for hammering, making placements quick and easy. A long handle lets you create leverage to easily extract the Bulldog from stubborn placements, and also houses an extendable sling that helps reduce rope drag on wandering winter pitches.

The profile resembles an ice axe pick, with reverse facing teeth that help the Bulldog bite into turf and icy cracks when weighted. The Bulldog achieves 10kN in lab testing, and when placed properly gives security in an insecure environment.

DMM Bulldog Features:

• Ice pick profile allows driving into frozen turf, ice or cracks: The Bulldog resembles an ice pick, allowing it to create protection options in any place you'd use your axe. Water ice, frozen turf and iced up cracks all become protection options when armed with a Bulldog.
• Large hammering area makes for easier placements: The spine of the Bulldog presents a large target for hammering, letting you make placements with minimal energy.
• Long handle creates leverage for easy removal: The handle of the Bulldog gives you a good grasp to lever the device out of whatever it has been driven into, aiding extraction and letting you get on with the climbing.
• Extendable sling gives versatile and easily extended placements: The extendable 8mm Dynatec sling allows a bulldog placement to be quickly and easily extended. This is crucial in the winter environment where long and wandering pitches are common, communication is difficult, and rope drag must be kept to a minimum.
• Lightening holes reduce weight: We've laser cut holes in the Bulldog that reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
• Achieves 10kN in lab tensile testing, giving high levels of security: In tensile testing our Bulldogs rate to 10kN static load. Provided the material they are placed in is strong and the placement good, the Bulldog will provide you with lightweight security in a wide variety of situations.
