AZTAR hammer & Adze wanted 17-May-2011 At 10:54:53 PM Mike Bee

I'd consider getting a pair of the latest Quarks.
Much lighter than the previous version, and the same modular head of the Nomic, so you can add pick weights if you want them, or add (or remove if climbing mixed) an adze. Petzl tools are still much more nicely balanced than BD I reckon. I preferred the new Quark over the Cobra and Viper.

I've played with the Aztars, and didn't like them at all. I climbed a couple of pitches on the old Quarks when I was in Canada in March, and didn't like them either. The new season Quarks were superior in every way to both, except maybe low angled (WI2) ice, the straighter shaft of the Aztar would be a bit better for that, but they were so far behind for everything else I wouldn't bother with them.
