The Petzl Quark is a multipurpose ice axe, designed primarily for technical mountaineering and for ice climbing. The Quark can adapt to any situation thanks to its modular construction. The Quark is easy to use, its balance and its Ice pick allow solid placements on any type of ice. Thanks to the clearance under the head and to the shape of the pick hooking is more efficient. The Griprest and the Trigrest hand rest ensure a comfortable but powerful grip.
