...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.

...Don't get me wrong i love k-swiss shoes, its just that they're so expensive. This pair cost about £75, slightly above my price range (by about £40). The trainers are comfortable, stylish and supportive. They lack in grip though, and i found that they wore down at the front by the toes, a lot quicker then nike shoes do. If i had to chose it would be nike becasue its got everything k-swiss has at more reasonable prices. However, when you buy this product you know you've bought a good trainer, if you player two or three times a week. i would not recommend it to players who play at least threee times a week....
