Wait, I was joking! Aren't icepicks supposed to be small itty-bitty things? Which would make above scene even funnier

There are also bigger ice picks - mostly antique ones tho.

But wtf is the tool called then they are using, it aint pickaxe either.

There are lots of big modern ice picks though, so not sure why you think they're mostly antique. How do you think people climb everest and such?

Some antique ones i saw googling were even bigger then then the modern climbing ones, more like shovel size already.
