Petzl - Quark

New and improved for 2018, the Quark now has a refined, hydroformed shaft as well as improvements to the grip and trig rest.

For years the Quark has been the go-to, do-anything mountain tool. Perfectly at home on pure ice, suitable for Scottish mixed duties and stripped down as a classic and lightweight mountaineering axe. The new model takes this strong pedigree and improves upon it. 

No longer are tools required to to remove the lower grip rest when ability to plunge is more advantageous, with an ingenious button press design the grip rest folds up providing a streamlined angle and large steel spike. The trig rest is the new version too in orange. 

With the same head design all classic picks, adze and hammer (big and small) can be fitted.
