The Petzl Summit Evo Ice Axe is a lightweight and durable tool designed for classic mountaineering and alpine excursions. Its ergonomic design and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance on steep, icy terrains.
- Lightweight Design: The Summit Evo offers a comfortable grip under the head of the axe, facilitating precise and efficient use.
- Curved Shaft: The upper part of the shaft is curved to provide good clearance when climbing, while the lower part is straighter, ensuring efficient penetration in snow.
- Forged Steel Head and Pick: The thin (3 mm) pick is durable and toothed at the tip, ensuring good anchoring quality in hard snow and ice. The pick is thicker in the middle to favor anchoring in soft snow. Teeth on the upper part of the pick strengthen the hold on the ice axe in piolet-rampe mode.
- Stainless Steel Spike: Provides very good penetration in hard snow and in piolet-canne mode.
- Durable Steel Adze: Offers a comfortable support surface, and the design of the edges allows stairs to be carved efficiently. The tilted adze directs the axe correctly into the snow during piolet-canne usage.
- Carabiner or Sling Attachment: The head and spike are equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling.
- High-Quality Aluminum Shaft: Made from 7075 aluminum (used in aeronautics), with an anodized finish for excellent protection.
