Selected User Reviews For PETZL Summit 2 Mountaineering Axe

Unless I must travel on a low angle glacier, this is my axe of choice
5/5

The pros are Please note
As you climb in steeper terrain with this angle, your hands remain out of the snow and ice - ideal for steep terrain. Self-arrest will be easier due to the downward slope of the shaft - It is not as cold and provides a better grip due to the material coating the shaft - I like how hefty the axe head feels I can swing it with great force when I need to
- *I use it mostly for guided glacier travel or mountaineering, excluding low angle glacier travel*Cons Please note
Weight is slightly higher than that of most other axes- It has a smaller shaft than other axes in part due to its shape (but it's not as fast as a low angle self belay)*- Testing crevasse bridges is not as good as it should be.
