Petzl Quark Ice Tool

The Quark, an evolving classic, is a versatile ice axe designed for technical mountaineering and ice climbing. Its balance and tapered ice pick allow solid placements on a variety of types of ice. The adjustable Trigrest and foldable Griprest handrests make it easy to handle and comfortable in many different situations, including plunging in snow. They provide a more effective and stronger handle grip for difficult sections.

Entirely modular, the Quark adapts easily to technical, varied terrain, such as snow couloirs, gullies, north faces, and ice routes. Interchange the pick or replace the hammer with an adze depending on conditions and objectives, a telling sign that this is one of the more versatile axes on the market.
