They are mounted symmetrically on both sides of the blade and act on the weight distribution of the tool, significantly altering its dynamic behavior during striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow they work and why they make a difference\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn hard ice climbing, any imprecision in the strike results in bounces, deviations, or unstable anchors. By adding controlled mass to the blade, \u003cstrong\u003ethe ice axe's center of gravity shifts towards the tip\u003c\/strong\u003e, increasing impact force and reducing lateral dispersion upon contact with the ice. The result is a deeper and more precise anchor on the first strike, with less wasted energy during technical sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBilateral positioning\u003c\/strong\u003e on each side of the blade for symmetrical weight distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e to facilitate blade placements in cracks and on dry tooling structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Petzl ice axes dedicated to technical mountaineering and ice climbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect mounting on the blade without structural modifications to the ice axe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who practice dry tooling or climb high-level icefalls, these accessories represent a refinement of the tool rather than a mere option: they concretely impact the quality of the anchor and the efficiency of the technical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PETZL","offers":[{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53230749647114,"sku":"U021EA00","price":28.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/4357\/8378\/files\/imgi_50_068w0000004nhdhaaa.jpg?v=1781782404","url":"https:\/\/www.verticalshop.eu\/en-eu\/products\/petzl-masse-di-equilibratura-u021ea00","provider":"Vertical Sport","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
