Hey this is my first post! I have done some climbing on rainier / adams/ baker with a friend of mine who always carries his technical ice hammer . Well i am planning on climbing with a different friend now, so no more hammer access. What would suggest for hammering pickets on a budget? I was thinking of just using my shovel or axe to hammer it in, or carrying a hardwear store hammer. I have almost no money left at all to buy gear, so what do you suggest?
