Product description

Weight: 635 g

• Material(s): aluminum, steel, glass fiber reinforced plastic
• Certification(s): CE, UIAA
• Sold with DRY pick, MASSELOTTES, MINI MARTEAU and GRIPREST ERGONOMIC handrest

• Comfortable grip, designed for highly technical climbing:
  - multiple grip modes and stable hand switching, thanks to the double handle (high and low)
  - lower handle is sharply angled for more comfort when hanging and more power for extremely difficult sections. The shape allows open-handed grip, limiting fatigue and optimizing rests
  - upper handle is over-molded and bi-material, offering excellent grip and insulation from the cold
  - hydroformed shaft for optimal grip in the middle of the shaft
• Efficient placement, hooking and wedging on any terrain:
  - perfect shape and balance of the ice axe provide an exceptional swing
  - facilitated hooking, thanks to the curve under the head
  - DRY pick is tapered at the tip (3.3 mm) and versatile across all terrain: rock, snow and ice. The 4 mm thickness of the pick makes it stronger when slotted and torqued. The serrated edge stabilizes inverted positions
  - inertia and striking quality are improved, thanks to the MASSELOTTE weights
  - the shape of the weights is optimized for slotting the pick in cracks
• Modular construction:
  - entirely modular head allows the technical aspects of the ice axe to be adjusted
  - compatible with Petzl accessories: ICE, PUR'ICE, PUR'DRY, PANNE, MARTEAU
  - sold with MINI MARTEAU, to protect the head and allow the user to hammer a piton back in
  - without accessories, the ice axe is lighter, for dry tooling (only 550 g)
  - GRIPREST ERGONOMIC handrest is over-molded and adjustable to three positions, to adapt to all hand sizes, even while wearing gloves. The absence of a steel point on the lower part gives better protection if the axe comes out of position
