Quark

The Quark is a versatile, modular ice axe designed for technical mountaineering and ice climbing, that adapts easily to technical, varied terrain. 

Versatile:
- Shaft curved below the head and GRIPREST QUARK handrest at the bottom of the shaft to protect the hands on ice climbs

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)
