Modify Your Ice Axe for Alpine Climbing & Mountaineering: Trailer

We all modify our gear. Ice Axes can be setup to meet the disparate needs of thru-hiking, peak bagging, and technical climbing in the alpine, and the right modifications can make a big difference in the safety margin you can add to your trip. The full video covers some of the simplest ways climbers and hikers customize maybe the most used piece of their mountaineering gear, their ice axes, and we talk about the tradeoffs of those setups so that you can make the right changes to your ice axe so that it works best for you.
