QUARK – Versatile ice tool for technical mountaineering and ice climbing

The modular QUARK ice tool can be easily adapted to different and technically demanding routes: snow couloirs, ice gullies, north faces, ice falls, etc.. Petzl QUARK offers a unique grip thanks to the curved shaft below the head and the GRIPREST QUARK finger rest at the bottom of the shaft. Thanks to the sufficiently straight shaft with a steel tip, the Petzl QUARK can be used perfectly as a walking stick pick. At only 465g without accessories, the Petzl QUARK is a true lightweight and will make its presence felt on your adventure solely through its outstanding function, not its weight. The Petzl QUARK ensures a secure placement in any ice – every time. Thanks to the Petzl QUARK‘s adjustable heels, you can adapt the ice tool to your needs. The height of the TRIGREST QUARK finger rest of the Petzl QUARK can be adjusted completely without tools to meet your needs efficiently and goal-oriented on your tours. Versatility is guaranteed to the Petzl QUARK thanks to the interchangeable shovel and hammer. All in all, the Petzl QUARK is your choice for a secure hold in any ice.
