Thanks for the advice, i went for a grivel airtech evo 58cm. Now i'm on the hunt for a technical hammer. Looking at a simond naja or BD viper. I've heard BD picks arn't very good though. Has anyone had any experience with these?

Just starting to get into more serious mountaineering, and am trying to figure out the best combination axe and a tool. I was going to go witha 57cm BD venom axe and a viper hammer. And then when i have more $$ get a viper axe. Would this be a good combo for ski touring and mountaineering. Or am i better to get a set of inbetween tools like the Aztars or dmm flys.
