Like The Sizes
Nice for a basic ice axe for everyday mountain use. I like they have a bit different sizing than others. That was the deciding factor. So I got it.

Perfect
very lightweight, pretty comfortable grip for my small hands. it feels extremely solid, and the leash (which you could remove without cutting) is a good touch. I'm glad I opted for this axe and not the cheapest out there. I am 6' and the 60cm was the right height for me on the steeps.

Very Nice Basic Axs
Bought this for a white mountains trip for self arrest. It’s exactly what you’d expect. Rugged and light and essentially the same as every other axe out there. Maybe a few grams heavier than the ones that are twice as much money.

Lightweight And Durable
Last week, I used it to climb the Nanhu Mountain in the snow season in Taiwan. It is super lightweight and sturdy, so I don't have to worry about safety when walking. The multifunctional lightweight aluminum alloy material and the great strap are suitable for snow-mountaineering entry-level people like me.

Super Lightweight, In All The Right Ways.
I absolutely love this ice axe. It's very lightweight, yet rated for use in anchor building. The axe seems well made and the notches on the lower shaft make for great handling. Overall, I'm very pleased with this ice axe.

Good Basic Ice Axe
Lightweight, solid build. I have used this twice to practice self arresting on Southern Oregon Cascades slopes and it has performed well. I question it's durability a little but am feeling more confident with each use.

Top-notch Ice Axe
Durable and lightweight. What else could you ask for? Used it to climb up the icy chute on Mt Whitney and then to glissade back down. Great choice!

Lightweight, Solid Choice
I went with the 68 cm (I'm 5'10"), and it's a great fit for low-angle glacier travel. Would probably choose something shorter for the real technical steep stuff. Just went up Mt Hood with it and it worked great! Very light. Durability still TBD after I've had it a couple years.
