Petzl Summit

The Petzl Summit is a lightweight, premium grade ice tool for classic mountaineering.

Features in Detail

• 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 favour 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
  - high-quality aluminium shaft (7075 aluminium, used in aeronautics), with anodised finish for excellent protection
  -handle is cut into the adze to create a better grip
• Ice axe compatible with LINKIN leash
