Advantages: Cheap, relativly light Disadvantages: Leash comes off
...Hi,
Having doing hillwalking and low grade rock climbing for a number of years i though i would take the plunge into winter walking. Last year i bought myself a pair of Grivel G10 crampons and the above axe.
The axe is 60cm in length with a wrist lensh on the shaft. The axe head is study and joined to shaft with an eyelet rivet, the same as most axes of this type. The shaft of the axe sounds hollow giving it it's light weight. This does not mean that it is weak, as I used it once as as a hanhold, jaming the axe horizontal across the top of two boulders and hauling myself up on it, the shaft did not bend and their is no sign of cracking.

...About a month ago, I decided to buy some new golf balls as I had finally almost run out of the things! Logged onto google and found www.best4balls.com - a golf balls online shop that looked pretty good. Now, I've always been a bit of a Titleist Pro V1 man myself, but have been told by a friend that you can sometimes afford to go coloured and not lose the performance!
Feeling like a bright spark, I ordered a Selection Box of the new Maxfli Noodle Ice balls (see link below):
