Any advice on some good all round technical axes? I'm mainly looking at the Petzll Quarks or the Camp X-All mountains. Most likely going to be in Ouray this winter for a bit but at best will be climbing WI3. I'd like them for technical mountaineering and some casual vertical ice climbing. Can any one shed give some reviews/advice/comparisons?
Try them out (and every other tool you can get your hands on) if you can before buying. Everyone has slightly different preferences. That being said, they're both really good tools, and you'd probably be happy with either.
Plenty of other tools for similar uses that are out there also. BD Cobras and Vipers, Grivel Quantum Tech, DMM Apex. . .
Thanks! I think I might be going with x-all mountains! I'd love to try alot out but in Ohio the only outfitters we have are BD only and have little in the way of aggressive axes.
