Traveling light and would like to use this as one of a pair for skiing to base camp (without the ice axe pick), then attach the pick for climbing. What's the grip like without the pick? Will this work?

You can slide the pick out of the grip, and the strap comes out as well. You are left with the rubber grip and it works fine.
