Lightweight and high-performing, the Petzl Summit Ice Axe is ideal for classic mountaineering.
The Summit features a curved shaft that provides the necessary clearance for steep and icy terrain, while the straighter lower part offers excellent penetration into the snow.
The extremely robust stainless steel tip ensures good penetration in hard snow and during use as a cane or anchor.
Equipped with a lightweight forged head and a shaft grip, the Summit is a high-performing and lightweight tool for all climbers. It can be used as a cane, anchor, or for short, steep sections, featuring a very resistant adze with an ideal width for efficient step cutting and providing a comfortable support surface.
