Elevate your mountaineering experience with the Petzl Summit Classic Ice Axe, expertly designed for climbers who demand both performance and value. This lightweight yet robust ice axe strikes a perfect balance, ensuring you have the right tool for your ascent without the added burden of excess weight.
Key Features:
Precision Design: The Summit’s thoughtfully curved upper shaft allows for optimal clearance on steep ice, enhancing your climbing efficiency. The straighter lower shaft ensures that you can penetrate snow effectively, providing a seamless transition between climbing modes.
Anchoring Excellence: Crafted from hot-forged steel, the axe's pick and adze deliver exceptional anchoring capabilities. The thin, toothed tip of the pick excels in hard snow and ice, while its thicker mid-section ensures stability in softer conditions. Plus, strategically placed teeth bolster your grip during piolet-rampe maneuvers, making each placement secure.
Versatile Use: Whether you're employing piolet-canne, piolet-rampe, or piolet-traction techniques on challenging slopes, this axe adapts to your climbing style with ease. Its durable stainless steel spike penetrates hard snow effortlessly, giving you the confidence to tackle any terrain.
Ergonomic Comfort: The Summit Ice Axe is designed with user comfort in mind. The steel adze features a tilted design, providing a supportive surface for efficient snow sculpting. Its edges are crafted to facilitate the carving of steps, while the integrated handle on the adze offers a better grip during use.
Built to Last: Constructed from high-quality 7075 aluminum, commonly used in aerospace, the shaft is both lightweight and incredibly strong. An anodized finish protects against wear, ensuring this ice axe withstands the rigors of the mountain.
Safety First: Equipped with holes at the head and spike for easy carabiner clipping or sling attachment, the Summit Ice Axe prioritizes your safety and convenience on the ascent. Plus, it's compatible with the LINKIN leash for added security.
