Petzl Summit Ice Axe

Petzl Summit Ice Axe

Classic mountaineering ice axe.

Overview

Designed for classic mountaineering, the Petzl Summit ice axe offers an excellent balance between price and performance.

It is lightweight and offers good anchoring performance with the head and the spike; it is curved to offer necessary clearance for steep ice snd can be used in piolet-canne or piolet-rampe mode as well as in piolet-traction mode on short, steep sections.

The axe gets Rocky's personal stamp of approval, with the sexy shaft a personal favourite. A nice mental image to take with you when battling through the crux of the climb.

Weight (52 cm length): 360 grams

Features

  • Lightweight but with enough weight in the head for good anchoring power

  • Pick and adze in hot-forged steel, ensuring solid anchoring

  • Handle is cut into the adze to create a better grip
