Designed as a compact and efficient solution for technical ascents, the Multihook streamlines your workflow on the ice, enhancing both safety and speed when you need it most. It is the ultimate accessory for any climber looking to create reliable V-thread ice anchors, perform quick rope maintenance, and keep essential gear in optimal condition.The primary function of the PETZL Multihook is to allow a climber to effortlessly thread a cord to create a V-thread anchor, a critical technique for rappelling and setting up belays on ice formations. The long, rigid hook is expertly designed to reach deep into the ice, enabling the creation of anchors up to 25 cm in depth for maximum security. Its optimal hook shape ensures a positive catch on the cord every time, and for long-term performance, it can be easily sharpened to maintain its biting efficiency season after season.Beyond its primary function as an anchor tool, the Multihook is a true multi-function device. It serves as an essential piece of safety and utility equipment thanks to its integrated cutter blades. High-Performance Cutter BladesThe Multihook is equipped with a razor-sharp, serrated blade designed to cut through modern climbing ropes, cords, and accessory webbing with surprising ease. This feature is invaluable for cutting slings to build anchors, trimming tag lines, or in emergency situations where a quick cut is necessary. The serrated design provides superior cutting power, ensuring a clean, reliable cut even on frozen or stiff materials. This eliminates the need to carry a separate knife for these tasks, saving precious weight and space on your harness.Furthermore, this versatile tool can also be used to clear the core of an ice screw. After placing a screw, ice can become impacted inside the tube, making it difficult to clean and reuse. The Multihook's slim profile is perfect for pushing out this ice core, ensuring your screws are always ready for their next placement.
