Vintage Petzl Ice Tool Curved
This older curved-shaft ice axe is a classic alpine tool designed for snow climbing, mountaineering, and general glacier travel. The curved shaft provides improved clearance and ergonomics on steeper terrain compared to traditional straight-shaft designs, while still offering solid performance for self-arrest and stability. Built with a durable steel head, this axe reflects a transitional era of mountaineering gear where function and simplicity were prioritized. A solid option for climbers looking for a traditional alpine tool or a reliable backup axe.
