[pct-l] Ice Axes

[patti kulesz]

That's the best one are you kidding? LOL Of course I'm a little biased b/c that's the one I have and no it is not expensive. It is the lightest ice axe you'll find and it does the job for what you need on the trail. Make sure you read the little paperwork that comes with it. These ice axes are not used for ice "CLIMBING"...only for stuff like what we'll need them for.

C.A.M.P. USA Corsa Ice Axe  $109 at REI

is that a decent ice axe?  the  price seems high

Any points about ice axes?

I can practice behind my house if I buy it now.

Does anyone think an ice axe is crucial or just cautious?  Hiking poles, 
crampons, ice axe seems like a lot of stuff.

Is it better to wait to buy until the conditions are better known or do you 
think that's too late.
