Description

Designed for classic mountaineering, the Petzl Summit Evo Ice Axe has a lightweight shaft and strong, durable head that make it the tool of choice for all types of alpine trips.

Features
  • Lightweight and with a waterjet-formed tube, the Summit Evo offers a very comfortable grip under the head of the axe
  • The technical design of the curved shaft provides the necessary clearance on steep, icy terrain; the lower part is straighter and guarantees efficient penetration in snow
  • Forged and well-balanced head provides very good anchoring qualities
  • Thin (3mm) pick is durable and toothed at the tip, ensuring good anchoring quality in hard snow and ice; pick is thicker in the middle to favor anchoring in soft snow
  • Durable spike in stainless steel for very good penetration in hard snow
  • Head and spike equipped with holes for clipping a carabiner or attaching a sling
  • The grip of the shaft makes it a precise and efficient ice axe
