High standard ice and mixed terrain alpine tool with hammer end and technical performance geometry.

When moving light and fast in one continuous 54-hour push the Petzl Quark Axe w/ Griprest Handle and Clipper Leash is the perfect technical tool to get you over that high difficulty of ice and mixed ground. With a Griprest design and hammering head this high standard alpine axe has a geometric curvature that provides excellent clearance on mantles and ice bulges. The pick is engineered thinner at the tip to prevent ice shattering has a steep angled at the first tooth for thin ice and small edges features beveled teeth for deep placements and has broad teeth distribution to provide for good placement stability and hooking. A Clipper Leash allows for quick hooking of the axe for resting and security when placing protection while the Griprest can be removed for sinking the shaft into the snow for step kicking security.
