Economical & Environmentally Friendly

Petzl is renowned for its high-quality design and engineering, and Alpen Adapt continues that tradition. This innovative, modular system enables climbers to switch out components effortlessly, providing greater control and flexibility than fixed solutions from other brands. In the end, you save money by adapting what you already have and limit waste by only replacing what’s worn out. 

One Set of Crampons:

• Switching from vertical ice climbing to glacier travel? Effortlessly swap front sections to fine-tune the weight and functionality of your crampons for optimal performance on a specific terrain.
  • LYNX front section for ice climbing, technical mountaineering, and mixed climbing
  • DART front section for ice climbing and dry tooling
  • IRVIS front section for glacier travel and ski touring
  • VASAK front section for classic mountaineering
  • SARKEN front section for technical mountaineering
• Want to lighten up your system to go faster? Replace the steel heel section with an aluminum one to help your feet more efficiently on long hauls.
• Need a crampon that you can put on any of your footwear? Switch between various toe and heel bails designed to fit all kinds of alpine boots, telemark boots, ski boots, snowboard boots, hiking footwear, and approach shoes—ensuring a secure and versatile fit no matter your adventure.
• Need more flex or stiffness? Choose from three linking systems that provide different benefits: Opt for the BARRETTES linking bar for ice climbing, ensuring a stiff, stable platform for vertical sends. Use the FLEX linking bar for snow travel, providing extra flexibility to reduce blistering. Choose the CORD-TEC linking system for ultra-lightweight efficiency on fast-and-light missions.
• Looking to test different front point configurations? With Alpen Adapt, you can easily reconfigure your front points on the DART and LYNX to match the demands of your route, ensuring optimal performance and precision.

One Set of Tools:

• Quickly switching between disciplines? Seamlessly swap between four different pick types using just a single hex key, ensuring you're always equipped for the climb ahead.
• Climbing with partners who have different hand sizes? Easily adjust the grip to fit without needing extra parts—no additional pieces required!
• Expecting heavy snow or some hammering on your route? Easily swap between the classic hammer, ultra-light hammer, and adze to match the conditions.
• Looking for extra stability on steep, icy terrain? Set up the grip-rest with a serrated point for reinforced support and better performance on hard snow and ice. Plus, its integrated connection hole is compatible with the V-LINK loss-prevention webbing, keeping your tool secure on every climb.
• Need to customize the swing of your tool? Add or remove weight around the top of the tool with the MASSELOTTES pick weights. They also function as stoppers/nuts when slotting your picks on mixed routes.

The Petzl Alpen Adapt stands out for being intuitive and streamlined when swapping out components and parts. Backed by Petzl’s long-standing reputation for producing high-quality climbing equipment, Alpen Adapt helps you specialize your equipment and ensures that you are investing in a reliable and proven system.
