specialed Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 With ice season in full effect the time is NOW to purchase: 1. A pair of Charlet Moser Axars. One adze, one hammer. An excellent all-around tool. Good for waterfall ice, great for climbing steep mountains. Comes with one BD Android leash and one CM lockdown leash, two upgrade picks and two 4x4 picks excellent for mixed terrain and climbing in the PNW. Retails for $190 each. Yours for $250 / both. 2. Pair of LaSportiva Nepal Top mountaineering boots. Classic, time-tested apline and waterfall ice footwear. In great shape. Size 11. Yours for $150.00 Quote
iain Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 do the axes come with the accessories in the upper right corner? Quote
ken4ord Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 do the axes come with the accessories in the upper right corner? Yeah that's awesome Quote
Chad_A Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 So, out of curiousity, which axe in the pics above has the 4x4, and which has the upgrade? I see that there's a difference in the two. Which seems to climb water ice better? Alpine ice? Quote
specialed Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 Ones the old "upgrade" and ones the new. 4x4's aren't on there. For pure ice the upgrade is better b/c it displaces less ice. The 4x4 is more durable, obviously. It just depends on how much ice to rock will be on the route you want to climb. Quote
