Ice Climbing Hammers





prev || next

 

Description
Add hammers to Petzl Nomic ice tools by machining both the Nomic Astro picks and Quark Hammers for a 1/2-lap fit fastened by the rear bolt. The full thickness of the Hammer blade extends a short distance within the Nomic Head for support, and the Hammer seat is contoured to fit the rear profile of the Nomic Head.

Petzl adopted this design for succeeding product years.

Both ABAQUS Standard and Explicit FEA were employed to calculate the acceptable lie-back torque a climber may safely apply to this adapted hammer. Analysis validation was performed using strain-gage instrumentation, and the steel qualities were established via Instron tensile testing.
