Petzl - Summit Evo - Mountaineering Ice Axe

Lightweight ice axe, but with enough weight in the head for good anchoring power

Hydroformed handle for good grip at the curve, and a technical design:

- the upper part of the shaft is curved to offer good clearance when climbing

- the lower part is straighter and guarantees efficient penetration in snow

Head and pick in hot-forged steel, ensuring solid anchoring:

- thin (3 mm) pick, durable and toothed at the tip, ensuring good anchoring quality in hard snow and ice

- pick is thicker in the middle to favor anchoring in soft snow

- teeth on upper part of pick strengthen the hold on the ice axe in piolet-rampe mode

- durable spike in stainless steel for very good penetration in hard snow and in piolet-canne mode

High strength and practical aspects:

- very durable steel adze offers a comfortable support surface, and the design of the edges allows stairs to be carved efficiently

- tilted adze directs the axe correctly into the snow (piolet-canne usage)

- head and spike equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling

- high-quality aluminum shaft (7075 aluminum, used in aeronautics), with anodized finish for excellent protection

Ice axe compatible with LINKIN leash
