Ultralight dirt hiker here. Live near Mt. Baker in WA. Much lingering snow in these parts this year. Forced to invest in ice axe & crampons if I want to get out on usual trails with my desired margin of safety. Black Diamond Raven Pro axe looks promising for my purposes (including budget), as do these Neve Strap crampons. Request readers and BC staff weigh in on these choices and suggest alternatives? Much appreciated.

Ryan is completely right, but if you go and find yourself slipping and wanting more traction maybe go for something like the BD contact strap and the raven is a perfect ax for what you want

These would be perfect for what you're doing. Since you only need them for trekking up trails you don't need steel crampons and the aluminum will keep the weight down. Petzl and Grivel both have comparable products. Any of them will work for you.
