PETZL ice ax ERGONOMIC
Code: U022AA00Product detailed description
The ERGONOMIC ice ax is designed for extreme ice and drytooling. The sharp slope of the handle is ideal for long hangs and increases efficiency during pull-ups. The double handle offers multiple grip options and a stable change of hands. On artificial wall, rock or ice, the DRY tip optimizes use in an inverted position for leverage, and the weights make it easy to insert the tips into crevasses. Thanks to the minimalist hammer, the head is protected and enables hammering of staples. The head has a modular construction and can be modified according to the required parameters.
Comfortable handle, designed for highly technical climbing:
- More grip options and stable change of hands thanks to the double handle (higher and lower)
- The lower handle has a sharp pro angle for more comfort when hanging and more efficiency in extremely demanding sections
- The shape enables an open hand grip, reduces fatigue and optimizes rest
- The higher handle is bent and made of two materials, offering excellent grip and insulation against the cold
- Handle made with hydroform technology for optimal grip in the middle
Effective jamming, hooking and wedging in any terrain:
