Technical ice axe for mountaineering and ice climbing.
The Petzl Quark Ice Axe is a technical ice climbing tool for vertical and mixed ice climbing. This version comes with a removable adze fitting for cutting compacted snow and ice.
The Quark is smooth and balanced; the interchangeable ICE T pick is tapered to 3mm for excellent penetration in all ice types, and is shaped for stable hooking on both rock and ice. The griprest increases climbing comfort and makes it possible for leashless climbing, and you can also add the Trigrest for even greater flexibility with one or two hands.
The Quark is designed for serious ice climbers
or those who want to advance onto vertical ice climbs.

These axes can be used in so many situations. I've comfortably used one (adze) as a walking axe, and used them as a pair for mixed and ice (up to grade 4, but I'm sure they'd be fine well above that grade). The modular design means you can remove grip rests etc to suit the needs of the day you've got planned.
