Quark Hammer

<p>The newly redesigned Quark Hammer from Petzl is a versatile ice tool par excellence: it has a modular design and can therefore be adapted to a wide variety of requirements, which is why many mountaineers have relied on these tools for years. The exchangeable 3 mm ice hoe also penetrates solid ice. The supplied hammer can also be removed - making the quark even lighter. Without the hammer and the two finger rests, the device weighs just 460 g and is ideal for snow couloirs. With the hammer and the two finger rests the quark reaches 550 g and is a great tool for steep ice gullies, technical mountaineering, ice and mixed climbing.</p><p>The Trigrest Quark finger rest can be adjusted without tools and moved upwards on the shaft. This gives the best grip in snow and ice, depending on the application of the ice pick. The special lever for the index finger enables even better grip and maximum precision in the placement of the equipment - it also serves as an unlocking lever for moving the support.</p><p>The Griprest Quark finger rest at the bottom of the shaft folds down to push the ice tool into the snow. Under the Griprest-Finger rest there is a carabiner eye, which is compatible with the Fangleine V-Link. The grip is ergonomically shaped for optimum grip even with small hands, the two pads provide the best grip when used without grip straps.</p><p>The ice tools are compatible with Petzl accessories such as the Pur'Ice Haue, the Mini Marteau Hammer and the Masselottes weights. A shovel can also be mounted instead of the hammer (not included).</p><div><br></div>
