Review on PETZL Summit Mountaineering Color 66Cm by Justin Sherman

Pros: The angle of inclination allows you to climb steeper terrain more safely without sticking your hand in the snow/ice. The downward slope of the shaft helps the self-locking material cover the shaft, making it less cold and providing better grip - the ax head feels very solid so you can get a good strong spin when needed - my pick of the bunch Mountaineering other than low glaciers Travel cons: - slightly heavier than most other trucks - stem is smaller than other trucks due to stem shape (not as good as a low angle lanyard) - not as good for testing bridges over cracks
