Versatility and Modularity
The Sum'Tec is a modular ice axe that adapts to climbing objectives thanks to interchangeable blades and the ability to change the head. This modularity allows the same tool to be used in technical mountaineering, steep skiing, or ice climbing.

The ALPIX/ICE blade, fine and profiled, is designed to penetrate various types of ice easily. It can be quickly and safely replaced via a unique screw locking system, ensuring efficiency and ease of maintenance.
Ergonomics and Grip
The slightly curved handle protects the hand during anchor pulls while remaining straight enough for cane use. The adjustable Trigrest offers multiple hand supports to optimize grip in technical terrain.
