Petzl gave the Quark Ice Tool a complete overhaul to make it one of the most versatile choices for taking on steep ice and alpine terrain. While the Quark has been a staple in the ice game for years, things can always be better. Petzl added a redesigned pick which can be used with a head weight for better penetration in bulletproof Alaskan blue or without when you want to shave weight. This tool can still be used with a leash, but Petzl designed it with leashless use in mind and added an adjustable trigger for increased swing precision and an upper grip to let you match on steep ice. The new spike design easily accepts a tether, so you dont risk dropping your tool from 4000-feet up some alpine wall. The Quark can be used with a hammer, adze, or no attachment at all. Either way, its still much lighter than the previous version. - Adjustable upper pommel lets you match on steep terrain
- Removable pick weight for extra penetration on hard ice
- Curved upper shaft provides extra clearance on technical ground
- Low-profile head accepts either a hammer or an adze
Bottom Line: Lighter, faster, better.
