On this pack you hang the ice axe(s) upside down so the head is below the bottom loop. You use the shaft to loop through the hole in the axe head from the bottom up (and from rear to front) and then use the bottom strap to tighten the axe and shaft together. That way your axe doesn't slip out of the loops.
