[pct-l] DO I NEED AN ICE AXE bandwagon

[calliger@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Richard)]

That's the spirit...after all..u have 10 fingernails...one of them
out to save u sliding off Donahue...(I can't figure that one out...
it's one of the "safest" passes going...oh well.. to each his own.)

I think you will be fine taking the light axe...u never know...
maybe u can whack a bear on the butt with it...


Namaste,

Richard
