The Petzl Ride is a replacement for my Petzl Literide, not the Suluk Tika. The Tika is more of a minimalist summer ice tool and only very limited use for self-belay. Wheteas the Petzl covers alpine spring seasons, belaying a mate, summit routes, and the kind rough use (hacking into anything that might give a hold) one normally expects an axe to cope with.
It was an unexpected surprise find with the grip as a bonus (3 layers of gloves don't give a secure-feeling hold on an ice axe shaft
). But I'll keeping my Suluk tika....
