[pct-l] Ice Axe

[Eugene Leafty]

Don't bother with a potty trowel when you really want an ice axe.  If you
really want something that like, get a Suluk46.

I have the first version of it.  I used it on San Jacinto this spring.
Maybe it's not as good for cutting steps as a heavier axe, but it worked
fine for the many steps I had to cut.  I self arrested with it quite a few
times too.

Time to starting looking at ice axes... what are you all carrying with you
out 
there? I'm thinking about the ULA Helix...

Thanks!
