Technical ice tool best for leading
The Quark Ice Tool is great for lead climbing, where one have to place protection. The leash system on the tools makes this easier to do, because one can hang on the tool without really having to grip the tool. The Adze allows removal of bad ice when placing protection. One can use this tool as a leash-less tool for freestyle ice climbing, but the balance on this isn't really built for that. Instead, I'd recommend the Nomic.
