Product description
The Quark from Petzl is a versatile ice axe for technical mountaineering and ice climbing. It can be adjusted according to different routes. The relatively straight shaft and the short steel spike provide plenty of traction whilst walking. The material used for ergonomically shaped grip provides additional protection from the cold. The finger rest gives you a better grip and thus more safety during difficult stretches. The Griprest finger rest folds in so that you can stick the ice axe in the snow. Thanks to the modular head, you can modify the tool according to your trip.

This is what other customers say:
Great all rounder. A little short for low angle slopes. Need taping up a bit to reduce cold on the hands. Limiting on steep technical terrain due to wrist position.
