About Petzl Charlet Quark Ice Axe or Hammer

The Charlet Moser Quark Ice Axe and Hammer.
The curved upper handle of the Quark gives excellent clearance that facilitates placements in sculpted ice flows, and delicate mantles while negotiating overhangs and changes of incline. The axe's weight distribution allows the force to be focused onto the pick and facilitates straight-arm placements. The forged pick is thinner at the tip and has beveled teeth to help prevent the ice from shattering. The many teeth that run along the underside of the pick ensure stability regardless of the ice's thickness. The steep angle of the first tooth makes for better placements in thin ice and hooking onto the tiniest of edges. The teeth running along the inside of the pikc's curve ensure sound hook placements. The entire length of the dual density grip is smooth to allow the climber to grip the base of the handle to maximise the axe's reach. The small size of the spike helps the climber prevent snagging the wall face while swinging the tool. The trapezoidal shape of the hammer makes it easier to jam into cracks in mixed terrain and dry tooling.
