Petzl Summit Ice Axe - Black

Classic mountaineering ice axe for versatile and effective use

The SUMMIT ice axe is designed for classic mountaineering and offers excellent value. It's lightweight yet maintains the weight of the head for good anchoring power. Its curved handle provides good clearance when climbing, while the straighter lower section ensures effective snow penetration.

The hot-forged steel blade and tip ensure a solid hold. The thin, serrated blade provides a solid hold in hard snow and ice. The ice axe is compatible with the LINKIN hand strap and is CE, UIAA, and UKCA certified.
