The Summit EVO ice ax by Petzel is ideal for classic mountaineering and an indispensable companion for all alpine tours. The ice ax lies comfortably in the hand. The technical design of the curved shaft provides the necessary space for use in steep and off-road terrain. The well-balanced forged head allows a good placement. The grip of the scaft makes it a precise, efficient ice pick.
- low weight - Hydroformed shaft for good grip - Hot-dipped steel head and tail enable a solid placement - Compatible with the LINKIN hand strap - Weight: 400g (at 52g)
The ice axe arrived well packaged, and as a bonus, I even got a plastic protector for the pick and point. The workmanship is as you'd expect from Petzl, except the pick isn't sharpened.
Corresponds to everything that Petzl describes about the product, much better than other ice axes for mountaineering because of the curve in the shaft and the grip on the shaft makes a big difference when striking; many others don't have this.
