Yoooo Mango, THANKS! Obviously you shopped around and found one that was light 
and the correct length, so since I can't even spell isce axxe, just tell me what 
to buy and where. :-) HAIRNT!!

Hey, Sourdough,
 
Mtn Ned is an advocate of the Whippet both as a trekking pole and for self-belay 
and self-arrest.  I don't know if many people use them.  I already had hiking 
poles and didn't want to buy a new set just for the snow functions.  I borrowed 
an ice axe from a friend here in JC for the Sierra.  I have since bought one, 
which I would lend you except that I might be using it myself north of Sonora 
Pass, depending on the snow levels in late June.
 
Take care,
Mango

First I ever heard about this. Neat idea!! I wonder if there is something made 
one could simply attach the the top of their Leki poles for use when hiking in 
an area where it could be needed. Too much to wish for maybe? LOL
