              Comments about Petzl Quark Ice Tool - Hammer:

              I'm a late adopter in everything--usually content to carry on with what I'm used to. Two or three winters ago a friend urged me to try a curved and leashless tool. I bought one that looked sensible and felt good in my hand, took it outside, and hated it. I couldn't get good sticks, and went back to my two old straight tools. This winter I hefted a Quark in a shop and decided to take another chance. Not sorry! This is a marvelous tool. Though light, it gives solid sticks even without extra head weights. I still use a straight axe in my other hand, because mostly I climb solo on easy terrain, and I want a straight tool for snow-slope-y stuff. But I do some of this in exposed places and must get reliably good sticks with both tools from the get-go, or I head home. Among other things, the Quark makes pulling over bulges a lot more comfortable--partly because of the knuckle-saving curve that all the tools have now, but also because when you swing it over a bulge and set it, the spike tends to come down in just the right way to give you a wobble-proof two-point placement. Very comforting. Maybe all current tools do this, but the first one I tried was such an erratic sticker that I couldn't run away from it fast enough. Long live the Quark.

                    Great all around ice tool. If you could only have 1 set of ice tools these should be it.

                        This is a great all around tool. Great for mountaineering and steep ice. The curved shaft offers awesome clearance. The pommel and trigger finger are adjustable. Coupled with the leases and you're set for any adventure.
