Worth The Weight!

By Nick Stadie Ranked #80 - Shovels January 31, 2010

Having used others' plastic shovels, and lighter weight aluminum ones, I cannot be happier with my ice-busting, crud-munching monster. This beast chops through anything, and thats important when you get into high camp late in the evening and every minute of digging out that tent spot counts for extra zzzs - even more so when you are camped on wind blown cement.

I also use it for day touring and even slackcountry because it's my only shovel, and I am sure it is overkill for those activities, but I don't really notice the weight. The D-handle is also a must have for serious backcountry use.
