BasketDesigned for classic mountaineering, the PETZL SUMMIT EVO ice axe is the tool of choice for all types of alpine trips. Lightweight and with a waterjet-formed tube, it offers a very comfortable grip under the head of the axe. The technical design of the curved shaft provides the necessary clearance on steep, icy terrain. The forged and well-balanced head provides very good anchoring qualities. The grip of the shaft makes it a precise and efficient ice axe
Detailed description
- Lightweight ice axe, but with enough weight in the head for good anchoring power

– 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
