Petzl Summit Mountaineering Axe

Item #PTZ0268 | 5 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Amazing all around tool

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #111 - Backcountry Snowboarding June 3, 2010

Love this axe, it is great almost always. It has enough weight to actually swing and stick and chop steps as needed, and the rubberized grip means you can change hand positions and grab up pretty high on it with out it slipping. The only draw back of course then is the added weight from the rubberized shaft, but I would say its worth it.
