Modular Ice Axe for Technical Mountaineering

The SUM’TEC ice axe is extremely versatile: it adapts easily to different mountaineering activities, from classic to technical. It's completely modular, so you can optimize the configuration according to the objective. The TRIGREST handrest (adjustable without tools) and the compatibility of the ice axe with most Petzl accessories (PUR’ICE and DRY picks, MASSELOTTES) provide the efficiency required for difficult sections.

Technical:

  • ICE pick is tapered at the tip for easy penetration in a variety of ice types
  • The TRIGREST handrest allows the position of the hand or the index finger to be adjusted into climbing mode quickly and without tools
  • Shaft with steel spike for solid support in piolet-canne mode

Versatile:

  • Curved shaft for efficient anchoring while protecting the hand
  • Shaft is straight enough for efficient planting into snow and walking comfortably

The ALPEN ADAPT system makes it completely modular:

  • Entirely modular head allows the technical aspects of the ice axe to be adjusted
  • Interchangeable with ICE, PUR'ICE, DRY, and PUR'DRY picks to adapt to different terrain objectives (snow, ice, or mixed)
  • Adze and hammer are interchangeable
  • Possible to add weights to improve anchoring qualities
  • Available in two versions: adze or hammer

  • Weight: 470 g
  • Pick type: 2
  • Shaft type: 2
  • Material(s): Steel, aluminum, nylon
  • Certification(s): CE, UIAA, UKCA
  • Ice axe sold with ICE pick, TRIGREST handrest, and either PANNE adze or MARTEAU hammer.

Guide Pick

Guide Pick

"Petzl sum'tec is the perfect all-around mountaineering tool. It has the weight and pick for more technical climbing with the straighter shaft to make it suitable for glacier travel."

- Leif Bergstrom, RMI Expeditions Guide

How Guide Pick™ Works

Step 1
Step 1

The guides over at RMI collectively spend over 10,000+ days a year on the world's highest mountains, climbing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet. They put their gear and apparel through the wringer. This stuff is their work wear and they simply will not tolerate inferior gear.

Step 2
Step 2

At the end of the climbing season, guides are given a survey to find out what gear they are using and why it is their favorite. We don’t often get complete agreement but we do get alignment and by looking at the data, a few clear winners rise to the top in each category.

Step 3
Step 3

We take those winners, and stamp them with the Guide Pick™ logo on our site. We also compile this wonderful little document, which you can use to see top contenders, gear advice, Guide Quotes, and more.
