"Good for what it's for" 08/20/10
If you're looking for a tough axe to take on hard alpine routes, this is not your axe. If you need something to help you on a steep snow slope or for generic glacier travel, this is a good axe. I also like it for my backcountry skiing; it is light but markedly more durable than aluminum axes.
"Decent mountaineering axe, not quite balanced for alpine routes" 05/19/10
I love the light weight and its proved worthy on a number of climbs, but don't choose this if you're planning on any sort of technical moves or places where a good bite is crucial. Save it for scrambling, rainier, Denali and other walk-ups.
