So what version of the Ueli Steck lwt axe will we see at OR this winter?
I'm betting on the Sum-Tec/Nomic combo versions in the picture just below that he has been using for a while now. But you never know....he has so many as the 2nd picture shows.
Lots of shots on video here of what I'd guess we'll see at OR.

More here from a previous comment.. in 2013. Be fun to see what Petzl decided they could produce.

YEA! They did it! Took awhile but Petzl showed both a lwt skimo axe and a new lwt "Nomic" as the revamped "Sum'tec" @ OR in SCL 2017. Makes sense because the new Sum'tec was so easy to make up with parts they already had on hand at Petzl.
