Petzl Aztarex Ice Tool



Super Tools!
I tried a lot of ice tools before I decided to purchase these. They are ideal for alpine climbing, since they are light and can be used in the cane position if needed. They swing very nicely and the angle of the pick and shaft are just right for climbing glacier ice even when if goes well beyond vertical. They are also MUCH lighter than comparable tools. I would highly recommend these to anybody climbing alpine ice.
