The trapezoidal shaped hammer is ideal for jamming in cracks. The forged CASCADE pick narrows at the tip for efficient placement. The beveled teeth are distributed to maximize stability while hooking and effortlessness removal from the most solid placement. The pick is interchangeable and the axe is delivered with the CLIPPER leash.

Petzl Quark Ice Axe



First Time
Wow. I have not updated my old tools yet. A friend of mine let me have a go today with these. It’s a huge difference. They worked well over bulges or vertical. He claims everybody is using them in the Canadian Rockies. I would not know about that, but I was impressed today. I’m shopping for them now.


One of the best
