Why choose the Petzl Gully ice axe for your technical ascents?

When the slope steepens and the conditions harden, you need gear you can rely on without adding unnecessary weight. The Petzl Gully ice axe meets this demand with remarkable precision, combining ultra-lightweight construction with excellent anchoring performance.

An ultra-light and compact mountaineering axe

Weighing in at just 280 grams, it’s barely noticeable whether attached to your pack or stowed inside. Its compact 45 cm length is ideal for unobstructed movement during transitions or ski descents. It’s the perfect companion for routes where bulk must be kept to an absolute minimum.

Outstanding technical performance with its steel pick

Don’t be fooled by its featherweight build: this tool bites hard. Unlike many fully aluminium ultralight axes, the Gully features a banana-shaped steel pick (tapered to 3 mm at the tip). Its advantages are numerous:

  • Optimal penetration even in hard ice or refrozen snow.
  • Secure placement and easy extraction on technical sections.
  • Exceptional durability against rock abrasion.

Ergonomics serving performance: Trigrest hand rest

One of this model’s key strengths lies in its Trigrest hand support. Adjustable without tools, it slides along the tapered shaft in seconds. You can switch from a classic walking position (piolet-canne) to a powerful grip for steep terrain (piolet-traction) in no time.

Petzl Gully Adze or Hammer: which one to choose?

To suit all your mountain adventures, the Petzl Gully comes in two minimalist versions:

  • Adze version: Ideal for cutting small steps or clearing snow placements. It’s the preferred choice of ski mountaineers for its versatility.
  • Hammer version: Designed for driving pitons or placing anchors. Perfect for alpinists tackling mixed or rocky routes requiring quick protection.

FAQ: Your most common questions about the Petzl Gully

Is the Petzl Gully suitable for glacier hiking?

Although it excels on steep slopes and in couloirs, its short length (45 cm) makes it less comfortable than a traditional walking axe (often 60 cm or longer) if used solely as a piolet-canne on long, flat glaciers. It’s designed for vertical terrain and minimal weight.

How should I carry my Petzl Gully safely?

Thanks to its compact size, it attaches easily to the ice axe holder of any ski touring or mountaineering backpack. Its sharp profile means you should always use pick and spike protectors when transporting it in a vehicle or storage bag.

Can I use it with thick gloves?

Absolutely. The Trigrest hand rest is designed for easy adjustment even while wearing winter mountaineering gloves. Its trigger unlocks with a simple press of the finger.
