Camp Alpax

Seemed like a good alternative to the Evolution. I really like the T-pick Rating, and hopefully its going to be good as a workhorse mountaineering axe. So has anyone used it? The only thing I could see happening is the rubber handle near the bottem of the shaft loosening or getting messed up from plunging into the snow. Got a good deal too:)

I have a pair of Camp axes. They are straight shaft though. Looks like the same head. Think I paid ~$45 each on SAC for them. Anyway The heads have some nasty casting burs that I cleaned up with a file. The adze isn't very sharp either. For the price I can't complain though.

It might have been a B-Rated Pick on yours. My last axe I got, was mistakenly a B-Rated. Even New it was dull, the adze was a joke. If it is indeed how you say, then I ll put my touches on it.

I couldn't say if they are B's or not but they should have been ;o)

 

5 minutes with a file and they were all good!
