Description

Designed for steep ice and for dry tooling, the Petzl Ergonomic Ice Tool offers an entirely modular construction and a stable, strong construction for excellent striking, slotting and hooking.

Features
  • Entirely modular construction allows the technical aspects of the ice axe to be adjusted; sold with Dry pick, Masselottes, Mini Marteau and Griprest Ergonomic handrest
  • Compatible with Petzl accessories (not included): Ice, Pur'Ice, Pur'Dry, Panne and Marteau; includes Mini Marteau to protect the head and allow you to hammer a piton back in
  • Double handle (high and low) offers multiple grip modes and stable hand switching; sharp angle of handle is ideal for prolonged hanging and increases power when pulling
  • Shape allows openhanded grip, limiting fatigue and optimizing rests; upper handle is over-molded and bi-material, offering grip and insulation from the cold
  • Hydroformed shaft in middle offers optimal grip
  • Griprest Ergonomic handrest is over-molded to 3 positions and adapts to all hand sizes even when you're wearing gloves
  • Absence of steel point on lower part provides better protection if the axe comes out of position
  • Dry pick with 3.3mm taper optimizes inverted positions; Masselotte weights facilitate slotting in and allow you to modify balance and improve inertia of ice axe
  • Shape of Masselotte weights is optimized for slotting the pick in cracks
  • 4mm thickness of pick makes it strong when slotted and torqued; curve under the head offers facilitated hooking
  • Certifications: CE, UIAA
