Technical ice axe for classic alpine routes

When your route takes you across firn fields, snow slopes, and icy ridges, you need a tool as versatile as your undertaking. The Petzl Summit EVO was developed precisely for these challenges: a modern ice axe for classic mountaineering with alpine demands. Whether high-altitude tour, glacier crossing, or steep ascent – ​​this ice axe offers you the control you need without carrying unnecessary weight.

Thoughtful design for challenging terrain

Its hydroformed shaft provides a comfortable and secure grip, even with gloves. The upper section is curved to give you more freedom of movement when swinging on steep terrain, while the lower part is straight for easy snow penetration. This combination of ergonomics and function ensures precise handling on any surface.

Reliability on tour – even under difficult conditions

Thanks to its forged, hardened steel head, the Summit EVO offers reliable grip – whether on hard ice or loose snow. The serrated tip ensures deep penetration, the wide middle section provides stability, and the teeth at the top offer extra grip when used as a gullet pick. A robust stainless steel point and a curved shovel complete the package, allowing you to quickly cut a step even during short breaks.
