Petzl Quark adze technical mountaineering ice axe
Petzl Quark Adze is an ice axe with a shovel head suitable for ice climbing and technical mountaineering. It is a very versatile ice axe thanks to its modular construction and the blade that adapts to any type of ice, tapering at the tip for better penetration.
Compared to the 2017 version, the 2018 version features a plastic insert placed between the head and the handle that absorbs vibrations and prevents the blade from becoming misaligned. The handle, moreover, in this version is hydroformed, making the grip of the ice axe much more ergonomic and therefore safer.
Trigrest and Griprest make the handle of Quark very ergonomic and the grip comfortable and secure; when used with the piolet canne technique, the end of the grip penetrates the snow perfectly. In this regard, Petzl has designed the Griprest to be adjustable so that it can be raised to use the ice axe as a walking axe and lowered to provide hand support during climbing.
