I'm looking for Quarks on eBay, have Petzl changed the design of them ver the years? The ones I'm looking at are 6 yrs, but hardly used and the only diff I can see is that there are no griprests (which I can get from elsewhere) Thanks, Espen question_137468 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:55:15 GMT Is there anywhere to get replacement picks for these tools? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Simond-Naja-Carving-Ice-Tool/SMD0004M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135866#question_135866 Simond Naja Carving Ice Tool Is there anywhere to get replacement picks for these tools? question_135866 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:45:22 GMT So I have used the Petzl Aztars before for solid vertical ice http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Quark-Ice-Axe/PTZ0060M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134054#question_134054 Petzl Quark Ice Axe So I have used the Petzl Aztars before for solid vertical ice and I really like the balance of them and the feel and shape of the handle. Overall I really liked them. So my question is how do these tools compare to the Aztars? The reason I don't just get the Aztars is because I really like the lease and the trigger on these? Is there any other major differences I should be aware of? question_134054 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:05:37 GMT sorry, stupid question.

I used this tool once on an easy WI3, but one time isn't the best gauge. Thoughts? question_115593 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:27:37 GMT Hi, I'm looking to get a second tool for steeper mountaineering http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CAMP-USA-Alpax-Special-Ice-Tool/CMP0035M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_107866#question_107866 CAMP USA Alpax Special Ice Tool Hi, I'm looking to get a second tool for steeper mountaineering routes, but won't be doing full-on ice climbing. I've already got a 70cm adze, so I'm looking at the hammer style. If I'm 5'10", should I go with the 50 or 57cm length second tool? thanks! question_107866 Thu, 14 May 2009 14:28:59 GMT Is there any difference in swinging momentum between this and http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Simond-Anaconda-Cup-Ice-Tool/SMD0005M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_104517#question_104517 Simond Anaconda Cup Ice Tool Is there any difference in swinging momentum between this and the Naja? I would like to get one (not one pair!) of each the Naja and Anaconda. I'm not really looking to do WI but more mixed routes. Friends think I should only get a pair Najas. What would you do? question_104517 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:44:10 GMT Does one normally get both the adze and a hammer, two adzes or http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Aztarex-Ice-Tool/PTZ0092M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_102291#question_102291 Petzl Aztarex Ice Tool Does one normally get both the adze and a hammer, two adzes or what? question_102291 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:05:07 GMT Hi, I bought this axe thinking (and, through the chat program, http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Grivel-Quantum-Tech-Ice-Tool/GRV0066M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_93516#question_93516 Grivel Quantum Tech Ice Tool Hi, I bought this axe thinking (and, through the chat program, confirmed by a gear expert) that they come in pairs, but, instead, I only received one axe (and not a pair). I started another chat session and the next gear expert told me in fact they are sold individually. I am quite disappointed with the confusion but in any way even more disappointed with the lack of logging of the chat sessions, so, I would like a written confirmation that these axes are in fact sold individually (I don't see any confirmation in the website), because if so, I will return it? question_93516 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:48:20 GMT Anybody have an opinion of these on moderate mixed routes (M http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Viper-Ice-Tool/BLD1111M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_39218#question_39218 Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool Anybody have an opinion of these on moderate mixed routes (M4-M7)? question_39218 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:36:25 GMT Are ice tools normally sold individually or in pairs? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Aztarex-Ice-Tool/PTZ0092M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_38462#question_38462 Petzl Aztarex Ice Tool Are ice tools normally sold individually or in pairs? question_38462 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:36:14 GMT I would like to know if the head (hammer/adze) is exchangeable http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Viper-Ice-Tool/BLD1111M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_34450#question_34450 Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool I would like to know if the head (hammer/adze) is exchangeable with other BD tools like the Black Prophets. Thanks question_34450 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:26:51 GMT How is the handle diameter compared to e.g. the Petzl Aztar? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Simond-Anaconda-Cup-Ice-Tool/SMD0005M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_29182#question_29182 Simond Anaconda Cup Ice Tool How is the handle diameter compared to e.g. the Petzl Aztar? Is the handle material grippy or slippy? The leash looks like it closes around the wrist just with velcro; true? And it looks like it attaches to the knob just with the metal fitting, or is there some kind of indent there that helps keep the two together? Is that hole through the shaft by the knob all the way through the shaft so that I could attach a different kind of leash if I so wished? Can that index finger trigger attachment be added for extra control? question_29182 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:22:02 GMT I checked and you can get the grivel matrix tech with grivel http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Petzl-Quark-Ice-Axe/PTZ0060M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_25712#question_25712 Petzl Quark Ice Axe I checked and you can get the grivel matrix tech with grivel leashes do you think its a good deal or do you recommend the petzl quark or any other tool? question_25712 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:46:09 GMT Do you carry this with an adze? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Grivel-Matrix-Light-Ice-Tool/GRV0064M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_11215#question_11215 Grivel Matrix Light Ice Tool Do you carry this with an adze? question_11215 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:27:41 GMT Hey I'm wondering if these tools can be used leashless.

I'm looking at these and the petzl aztarex and not quite sure which I want. I'm looking for versatility for technical mountaineering more than anything. question_4256 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:05:16 GMT
