Petzl Ergonomic ice axe 2024
High-level ice climbing and dry-tooling ice axe
The ERGONOMIC ice axe is designed for steep ice climbing and dry-tooling. The strong grip angle ensures an ideal angle for prolonged suspension and greater effectiveness in traction. The dual grip guarantees various grip modes and stable hand changes. Ideal on rock and ice, the DRY blade allows for inverted positions and the balancing masses facilitate blade wedges in crevices. Equipped with a very small hammer, the head is protected and allows a nail to be hammered in. Entirely modular, the accessories can be configured to suit the intended climb.
Features
- Multiple grip modes and stable hand changes due to dual grip (high and low).
- Highly off-centre low handle for more comfort in hanging and more power in extremely difficult passages. The shape allows grip with an open hand, reducing fatigue and optimising resting phases.
- High, over-moulded, bimaterial handle for excellent grip and perfect insulation from the cold.
- Hydroformed handle for optimal grip in the centre of the handle.
- Perfect ice axe geometry and balance for exceptional effectiveness.
- Easy hooking, thanks to shaping under the head.
- DRY blade honed at the tip (3.3 mm) and versatile on all terrain: rock, snow and ice. The 4 mm thickness provides better resistance in torsion blocks. The notched ridge stabilises its use in inverted positions.
- Improved inertia and rebound quality thanks to MASSELOTTES.
- Geometry of the balancing masses for blade slots in slots.
- Fully modular head to adapt to the technicality of the ice axe.
- Interchangeability of ICE, PUR'ICE, DRY and PUR'DRY blades to adapt to different climbing solutions (snow, ice or mixed).
- Interchangeable shovel and hammer.
- Supplied with MINI MARTEAU to protect the head of the ice axe and hammer in pitons.
- Without accessories, the ice axe is lightened for dry tooling (only 550 g).
- GRIPREST ERGONOMIC overmoulded and adjustable to three positions to fit all hand sizes, even with large gloves.
- Materials: aluminium, steel, fibreglass-reinforced plastic.
- Real weight: 685 g.
