Petzl Summit

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

• Description -

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

• Shaft ergonomics:

• 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

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

• pick is thin (3 mm) and toothed at the tip, ensuring good anchoring qualities 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
