Dane Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Dave actually turned me on the photo of Ueli Steck from last week.. Thanks Dave! Then I did a little snooping around with a few buddies and got this Remember you saw it first on Alpineexposures.com OR show in SLC next week should be fun. "new Quark Ergos... ridiculously aggressive though" I'm way stoked to see them in person and get them out! http://www.alpineexposures.com/blogs/chamonix-conditions Quote
Julian Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Badass looking tool. Very apropos for the world's most badass climber. Quote

ryanb Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 On the front page of petzl's site... Nomic gets a new handle as well? Quote
Dane Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 My guess is that is simply the current Nomic pictured with some extra tape wrapped on the grip. But I could be wrong Three new tools to be unveiled on Thursday at the OR show. Nomic, Quark and Ergo is the word so far....but no one is fessing up on details or pictures. No question what Ueli is on in Jon's picture above is a new tool. Quote
ryanb Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Has petzl done orange handles on the nomic before? I can see the black being tape but not the orange. It does look like the current nomic but if i squint at the grip enough it looks like it might have rubber on the upper shaft instead of tape and some kind of orange accents on the handle. My (wild) guess is that the nomic and quark will see minor updates (upper match and better tether attachment point on the quark) and the old style fusion looking thing (joke) in the pic of euli will be the new ergo ... The pic of euli made it look like the shafts will still be standard instead of hydroformed like bd's new stuff. Edited January 20, 2010 by ryanb Quote
robpatterson5 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) A new Petzl Quark Eros?! I know its sexy, but Damn! Your supposed to do THAT with your ice tool?! 8D ... ... Edited January 21, 2010 by robpatterson5 Quote
Dane Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 ryan's guess was pretty good..that is a new Nomic. Quote
YocumRidge Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 What are the improvements of the new Ergos over the old d/c ones? Quote
