Nomic

Designed to take on serious ice and mixed climbs the Petzl Nomic has allowed climbers to push the limits of the winter game and with the new improved Nomic this looks set to continue.

The NOMIC ice axe sets the standard for ice climbing. Perfectly balanced and equipped with weights, it provides an exceptional swing. Its PUR’ICE pick allows efficient placement in a variety of types of ice. The shape and double handle offer multiple grip modes, as well as stable hand switching. The grip is comfortable, with an ergonomic handle and adjustable GRIPREST handrest. Featuring a minimalist hammer, the head is protected and allows the user to hammer a piton back in. Entirely modular, the ice axe can be optimized according to the terrain.
