Designed for classic mountaineering, the SUMMIT EVO ice axe is the essential tool for all types of alpine outings.
Lightweight, its hydro-formed tube offers very comfortable grip under the head of the ice axe.
The technical design of the shaft curve provides the necessary clearance for use on steep and icy terrain.
The forged and well-balanced head provides excellent anchoring qualities. The shaft grip makes it a precise and effective ice axe.
Main features
- Lightness: light ice axe that retains weight in the head for good anchoring power.
- Hydro-formed shaft for a good grip thanks to its curved shape and technical design:
- the shaft is curved in its upper part, providing good clearance distance when climbing,
- the lower part is straighter and ensures effective penetration into the snow.
- Head and pick in hot-forged steel, ensuring solid anchors:
- thin pick (3 mm), robust and serrated at the tip, ensuring good anchoring quality in hard snow and ice,
- thicker pick in the center to improve grip in soft snow.
- teeth on the upper part of the pick reinforcing the hold of the ice axe when used as a self-arrest tool,
- robust stainless steel spike for excellent penetration in hard snow and when used as a walking stick.
- High resistance and practical features:
- highly resistant steel adze offering a comfortable support surface with an edge design that allows steps to be cut effectively,
- inclined adze to correctly guide the ice axe into the snow (walking stick use),
- head and spike equipped with holes for attaching a carabiner or a sling,
- high-quality aluminium shaft (7075 aluminium used in aeronautics), with anodized finish for excellent protection.
- Ice axe compatible with the LINKIN wrist strap.
