Will you post some pics of the knifeblade, please?

Thank you all for the input. The rock gear I use on a regular basis. One new Cobra and the screws were very generously gifted from a friend. Thus, I had to buy a matching tool. I picked up the boots and crampons for a planned trip to CO and UT next season to ice climb. I am working on gaining experience in the various aspects of this discipline and I am just curious if I am headed in the right direction from an equipment standpoint. I don't plan on bringing cams and pins etc on Shasta or Rainier. Just trying to be well rounded, keep the bar high, and make sure I have the (some) appropriate technical equipment to train with.

Thank Apple for the picture quality.

I'm planning on Shasta and Rainier (if possible) this year. I'm going to spend time ice climbing in Montana and Colorado in 2013, and I would like to gain some mixed experience as well. I'm trying to round out my experience and I'm making sure I have the correct equipment to successfully train and engage these activities. Generic answer, I know, but plans are still in the works. I'm an outdoor education student and I need a certain amount of field time for my program. I am using this disciple to satisfy this requirement.

Thank you for the comments Q. I don't have much experience with hexes other than messing around the base of the local crag. Those I know who use them seem to use sizes 7-9 (BD & WC)and never touch the rest. Is this true for you also?

Here is my Alpine Kit...in progress. I have all the basics (bivy equipment, layers, helmets etc.) but are not pictured. I plan on investing in more screws after I pay my tuition. Any comments or recommendations are appreciated. My apologies for the cell phone picture quality.
