    With its curved shaft and lightweight head, the Summit applies a new technical approach to mountaineering axes.

    Features/Benefits:

    • The curved shaft provides the necessary clearance on steep or icy terrain
    • The light, forged steel head attached to the shaft ensures maximum efficiency
    • Hot forged chromoly steel head is curved to offer a comfortable, powerful grip
    • Shaft is made of ultra-light aluminum with a textured rubber coating for a solid grip and great thermal insulation
    • Curved upper shaft allows good clearance during climbing, while the straighter lower part guarantees efficient penetration in snow
    • The pick is thin (3.5 mm) at the tip to ensure solid purchase in ice, and wide in the middle (8 mm) for soft snow
    • Teeth are positioned and tapered to optimize holding power while descending (piolet rampe usage)

Comments about PETZL Summit Mountaineering Axe:

I bought this axe for mountaineering in the White Mountains in NH. Have been using it every weekend for one winter season so far. Light weight and the coating on the shaft definitely makes it easier to handle. Extremely durable for what I have put it through. Price seems on the high end when compared to other mountaineering axes but will definitely get your money's worth if constantly using it.
