[pct-l] Ice Axe

[Lisa Freathy]

Thank you all for the ice axe information! Especially the details of what to 
look for when selecting and uses when on the trail, I feel I have a much better 
idea of what to look for now. Can't wait for Ned's snow course so I can learn 
how to use one!

Sorry for the delayed response... email went down for about a week and catching 
up on these emails once so far behind took awhile!

Happy Hiking!!
 Lisa
