Petzl Quark technische ijsbijl met haak 50 cm

The Petzl Quark is a technical ice axe built for demanding ice climbing, dry tooling, and technical mountaineering. Its aggressive Type T pick delivers efficient penetration in hard ice, while the modular head allows you to swap between adze, hammer, and compatible picks (ICE, DRY, PUR'ICE, PUR'DRAG) to adapt to the route.

Advantages

The Quark features adjustable TRIGREST and GRIPREST hand rests, providing a secure, customizable grip for technical sections. The aluminum shaft keeps weight low without sacrificing rigidity, and the rubberized grip enhances control in cold, wet conditions. A leash attachment point is compatible with the V-LINK leash for added security.
