QUARK

Ice climbing tool

A technical tool for ice and mixed route climbing with a high level of difficulty.

• Excellent grip, even leashless with the GRIPREST at the bottom of the shaft.
• Placement made easy due to excellent clearance (cauliflower ice and mantles).
• Minimum mass at rotation point (handle), maximum at the head of the axe for excellent swing.
• Placement efficiency:
  • forged pick, thinner at the tip, to prevent ice shattering,
  • steep angled first tooth for thin ice and small edges,
  • good stability while placing and hooking due to the teeth distribution.
• Easy removal even with deep placements due to the bevelled teeth.
• GRIPREST is removable for plunging shaft in snow.
• Adze or hammer versions available.
