The Petzl Summit 2 is a B-rated mountaineering axe built for glacier travel, snow couloirs and classic alpine routes. Its curved upper shaft gives the head clearance on steep ground, and the hot-forged steel head and adze hold up to hard ice and mixed use. The anodized aluminum shaft resists corrosion, and a stainless steel spike plunges easily into snow. It is lighter and more technical than a straight-shaft walking axe, but it is not a rated ice tool for vertical water ice. Owners rate it highly for balance and build quality.

The Petzl Summit 2 is a B-rated mountaineering ice axe, 66 cm long. It has an anodized 7075 aluminum shaft, which adds protection against the elements. The pick and adze are hot-forged steel for durability.
The upper shaft is curved to improve clearance on steep terrain. A stainless steel spike at the bottom makes plunging the axe into snow easy. Carabiner clips at the top and bottom allow use in anchor systems.
