Petzl Aztar Ice Axe
Nice for the price

These tools are pretty nice particularly for the price. I particularly like the leash, it tightens itself when you weight it and is very comfortable. The leash also has a thing to keep it from getting too tight. The tools do not have very good protection for your knuckles which sucks. I has several bleeding fingers after climbing with these tools. They have a pretty nice geometry and are nice for climbing pure ice. These would make a very good tools for someone new to the sport. If you want to do more serious climbing I would suggest a higher end tool, you do get what you pay for.
