Light, versatile, lovely
Love this tool! Light, sharp, well-balanced, precise; a real pleasure to swing. The handle was super comfortable to hold with a variety of gloves (tried with different thicknesses), though I wasn’t wild about the finger trigger but love that the trigrest is adjustable. While I mostly go for WI-3/4 Ouray crag days, I appreciate how versatile the Quark is – the foldable lower griprest is very cool. Had previously been climbing with older BD Vipers and found this to be an upgrade.
