Training in summer

Anybody ever did training in a crevasse? Basically rappelling down and doing top rope laps for endurance. My question is how much different glacier ice would feel compared to waterfall ice and whether there would be any significant carryover for endurance or not really worth the logistical effort.

PS I am aware that drytooling is the way to train throughout the year and do a fair bit of that

Is this a pair of e wires? Got them from a second hand store cause like the look of them and realised it says Oakley. Any chance of this being a real pair?

Recoilless ice tools

I stumbled upon this ancient ad and wondered whether anybody has ever seen a pair of these? I assume the concept is the same as in a dead blow hammer (moving weights inside) and I wonder if there’s any real benefit to that. Judging by how many of these are around I’d assume the concept didn’t really work/sell well, but on the other hand I know that krukonogi has developed some pick weights with tungsten/lead balls inside so there must be something to it. The question is though- how much difference does it make and what is the real benefit
