When moving light and fast in one continuous 54-hour push, the Petzl Quark Axe w/ Griprest Handle and Clipper Leash is the perfect technical tool to get you over that high difficulty of ice and mixed ground. With a Griprest design and hammering head, this high standard alpine axe has a geometric curvature that provides excellent clearance on mantles and ice bulges. The pick is engineered thinner at the tip to prevent ice shattering, has a steep angled at the first tooth for thin ice and small edges, features beveled teeth for deep placements, and has broad teeth distribution to provide for good placement stability and hooking. A Clipper Leash allows for quick hooking of the axe for resting and security when placing protection, while the Griprest can be removed for sinking the shaft into the snow for step kicking security.

"Crampons built for traditional mountaineering, the Petzl Vasak Spirlock Crampons are designed for mountain and glacial travel. The VASAK provides comfort for walking and plenty of power for glacier climbing. The VASAK's semi-rigid design flexes a bit for a more natural gait and is extremely versatile. Length adjustment is tool-less and fast in support of your choice of footwear and also suggests the possibility of sharing crampons with a partner. These come with two flat front points for increased bearing power, thin-sectioned points for good penetration on ice, the next two points are inclined to give stability. The ten walking points are separated to respect the asymmetry of the boots and to limit the ""rail"" effect which increases the risk of slipping. The spirlock binding system are for boots with a rear sole overlap (wire at the rear, flexible binding at the front). Strap fastening system, avoiding the encumbrance of a heel-bail."
