Petzl CharletQuark Axe Price: £180.00

Petzl Charlet Quark Axe

  • Silver

Product Overview

An update on the classic Petzl Quark and one of the most modular, multi-function ice axes on the market.

Primarily designed for icefalls and alpine ascents, the new Quark is also an excellent Scottish all-rounder with a T-rated shaft and pick.

Hammers/Adzes can be removed for dry-tooling or icefalls and the Trigrest can be moved and modified to suit individual demands. Swing weights (purchased separately) can also be added to aid penetration in very hard ice.

Designed to be a leashless tool but can be retro-fitted with Petzl's excellent Clipper Leash and is compatible with all lanyard systems.

550g fully kitted or 460g stripped down

Some aspects of mountaineering and related activities, including but not limited to technical rock, ice, and snow climbing, are potentially hazardous and dangerous. Any person using our equipment in any manner is personally responsible for learning the proper techniques involved, and assumes all risks and accepts full and complete responsibility for any and all damages and injury of any kind, including death, which may result from the use of any equipment purchased through this website. Books like this one can help but they are no substitute for personal instruction by a qualified person well versed in all appropriate safety techniques.

  • Aggressive shaft geometry for steep ice and mixed terrain
  • T-rated cascade pick - tough enough for the Cairngorms, fine enough for Cogne
  • Modular Griprest and Trigrest for maximum versatility
  • Clip-in point on spike for leashless lanyards
  • Full-sized spike for safety on easier ground
