Excellent Petzl Sum’Tec

A compromise between a classic mountaineering ice axe and an ice climbing axe, the SUM’TEC from Petzl is a versatile, lightweight yet technical ice axe that is easy to use in piolet-canne mode with its stainless steel spike and its slightly curved shaft. In piolet-traction (facing in), the ALPIX pick (forged into banana shape) and the new TRIGREST hand rest (adjustable without tools) ensure the efficiency required for technical passages, as well as bergschrunds, ice gullies… Available in adze or hammer versions.
