[pct-l] Cassin Ghost Axe

[whitethunder10 at hotmail.com (Joseph Niemiec)]

Anyone hear if these are fine for the PCT?  It is the lightest I can find 
and read a review that said they are fine and one guy even fell on his 3 
times and it worked perfect every time...
But still somewhat uneasy about the purchase considering the head is 
aluminum...
