Perfect for weight weenies like me

CAMP USA Corsa Ice Axe

Rating for this product: 4 September 12, 2009

Perefect if you are travelling on low angle snow (<45 degrees) and don't want to haul a heavy axe like BD Raven. I have almost never used my Raven every since I got this one. My axe always draws attention from the group for its lightness.

CAMP USA Corsa Ice Axe

I highly doubt that 2cm would make a big difference. You shouldn't be using this axe on high angle snow anyway.

Nice boots for light mountaineering

La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's

La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 September 12, 2009

I have owned it for one season and have worn it to the top of Jefferson, Hood, Rainier, Baker, Shuksan, Eldorado, little T and some other local peaks. They won't weigh your feet down. If you want something warmer, however, e.g. Mt Rainier in the winter/spring, I'd recommend La Sportiva Glacier.

My only complaints is these boots don't stand much abuse. Mine have already shown signs of wear and tear after one season. I had to glue the rands on both boots. I have been wearing them pretty much every weekend since spring though.

Black Diamond Express Ice Screws

I have used similar products including Petzl Laser Sonic and Simond. BD express is the fastest to get in. The length of the handle is just perfect. No fumbling.

Feather light

CAMP USA Nano 23 Carabiners - Six Pack

CAMP USA Nano 23 Carabiners - Six Pack

Rating for this product: 4 September 12, 2009

Pro: feather light. 23g is THE lightest biner you can find on the market today.

Con: clearance is a little low. Not really a con though. Considering the size, that's expected.

It's an ideal biner for clipping to the pro end. I do not recommend using it on the rope end though. I also do not recommend using it on the snow when you have to handle the gears wearing gloves.
