Quantum Tech Adze

Rating

My vote: None ( 5.8 avg )

Description

The ultimate axe for technical climbers with aerospace grade composite. A super light technical tool. Hot forged head in chromoly steel: no compromise over quality because forging internal microstructure can be oriented to improve strength and internal defects or porosity are minimized. Carbon Composite shaft: no compromise over quality because composite materials means that the parts of the final product subject to major pressure that require more strength and rigidity can be designed specifically to enhance these characteristics. This vital aspect is made possible by the type of reinforcement and the orientation of the fibers, and the light alloy matrix transfers load to the external reinforcement in Carbon fiber. Very efficient hand support with a little spike point in Tungsten Carbide for safety.

Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.
