PETZL CHARLET Quark M Axe With Griprest Hammer

PETZL CHARLET Quark M Axe With Griprest Hammer

A technical axe for highly difficult ice and mixed routes. Petzl's Quark M has been modified with a plastic griprest guard that curves up from the shaft's end to protect your pinky from getting jammed into the ice. Curved handle provides good clearance and an efficient swing. Minimum mass around the handle's rotation point and maximum around the head of the axe for greater leverage. Forged pick is thinner at tip to prevent ice shatter. Steep angled first tooth for thin and small edges. Beveled teeth allow easier removal in deep placements. Trapezoidal shaped hammer facilitates jamming in rock fissures. Includes padded, adjustable wrist strap. Weight: 1 pound 7 ounces shaft: 50 centimeters.
