The Petzl Quark Ice Axe is a versatile tool designed for technical mountaineering and ice climbing. Its balanced design and ICE pick ensure solid placements on various ice types, while the TRIGREST and GRIPREST handrests enhance grip and comfort during challenging sections. The modular construction allows easy adaptation to different terrains, including snow couloirs, gullies, north faces, and icefalls.
- Versatile Design: Features a curved shaft below the head and a GRIPREST QUARK handrest at the bottom to protect hands during ice climbs. The shaft includes a steel spike and is straight enough for use in piolet-canne mode.
- Optimized Grip: Hydroformed handle provides optimal grip in the middle, suitable for snow couloirs. The over-molded, bi-material handle offers excellent grip while insulating from the cold.
- Enhanced Handrests: The TRIGREST QUARK handrest is height-adjustable without tools, and the GRIPREST QUARK handrest folds easily for planting the axe in snow.
- Efficient Ice Placement: The ICE pick is tapered at the tip (3.3 mm) and versatile across all terrains: snow, ice, and mixed.
- Modular Construction: Compatible with Petzl accessories such as PUR'ICE, MINI MARTEAU, and MASSELOTTES.
