The Petzl Sum'Tec Ice Axe is a lightweight ice axe that combines a curved shaft with an adjustable hand rest and an interchangeable pick to be considered a kick ass technical and classic mountaineering ice axe. This Petzl ice axe features the TRIGREST hand rest that significantly improves grip efficiency, weighs a mere 485 grams (52 cm size) for mountaineers looking to reduce weight, and a curved upper section to provide good clearance during ice climbs and helps avoid impacts to the hands. Geez Petzl, we already liked you.
