jstreet Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The axe is 65cm in length and has an alaska pick on it and a spare pick. This axe is an amazingly performant ice tool in both apline and water ice. I've actually climbed WI-4 with them and didn't feel impeded. It's comparable to the Black Diamond Venom Axe in form and function. It's in good condition.

wfinley Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 "Performant"? It's a legitimate word - but Preformant is a noun. According to the OED: performant, n. [< PERFORM v. + -ANT suffix1, perh. after e.g. INFORMANT n. Cf. earlier PERFORMER n.] A person who performs a duty, ceremony, etc., a performer. 1809 S. T. COLERIDGE in Sir H. Davy Remains (1858) 110, I contemplate Dr. Stock as the performant. 1894 tr. Pausanias in Jrnl. Hellenic Stud. 14 139 These rites are performed both by private persons and in public every year by the Phigaleians. The performant is a priestess. 1927 C. AIKEN Blue Voy. ii. 33 Like automatic performants of a queer primitive ritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfinley Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 In a fit of geekdom my wife bought me a subscription to the OED for Valentines Day. I'm eager to show it off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
