The Petzl Sum'Tec is a highly versatile ice axe designed to cover everything from classic alpine routes to more technical mountaineering, making it a true all-round tool for serious mountain days. Its tapered ICE pick bites effectively into different types of ice, while the curved upper shaft protects your hand and allows precise placements without compromising comfort when you’re walking on easier terrain.
The TRIGREST hand rest can be adjusted quickly without tools so you can fine-tune your hand or index-finger position when using the Sum'Tec as a leashless pulling tool. A steel spike at the bottom of the shaft provides secure support when used as a walking axe, and the modular head concept with interchangeable adze or hammer and optional pick weights lets you tailor the swing and setup to the route and your personal style.
