What is your definition of technical mountaineering? One man's definition of technical is another man's walk up. Without knowing what grade you are planning at, it's hard to say what tool is for what. Quark will climb WI5, Nomic makes it just a little easier.
Alpine rock climbing doesn't require any technical tools unless you are talking about getting to the base of the climb, if it's flat, use trekking poles.
