Petzl Summit Ice Axe 59cm

The Petzl Summit ice axe is a lightweight, dependable tool for classic mountaineering, giving you secure support on glacier approaches, snow slopes and short icy sections. Its ergonomically shaped shaft is curved in the upper part to provide clearance in steeper terrain, while the straight lower section bites cleanly into the snow so it works perfectly as a walking axe or when used in piolet ramasse or piolet canne techniques.

The hot-forged steel head features a tapered, toothed pick that penetrates hard snow and ice with precision, while the broader mid-section bites well in softer snow and the robust stainless-steel spike offers a solid purchase underfoot. A comfortable steel adze makes step cutting easier, openings in head and spike let you clip a carabiner or attach a LINKIN leash, and the anodized 7075 aluminium shaft combines high strength with corrosion resistance – ideal if you want a reasonably priced, no-nonsense ice axe that you can trust whenever the terrain steepens.
