Looking for a lightweight ice axe for ski mountaineering, alpine climbing, and a little bit of glacial travel. Looking at Petzl Summit Evo, CAMP Corsa Alpine, or something similar. Kinda like the slightly curved shafts that those have but would still consider a straight shaft if it's the right fit. Regarding size, going back and forth but would consider anything in the 45cm - 60cm range. 

So all that said, willing to look at a bunch of axes if you are trying to get rid of one! Shoot me what you've got and how much you're looking to get and we can chat!

I have a pair of BD Vipers if you're interested, great for ski-mo

I think I'm looking for a bit less technical than the Vipers - thanks though!

How about a brand new Blue Ice Hummingbird?

How long is the hummingbird?

I believe it is a 50. It is about an inch longer than my Petzl ride

Tried out some axes at my local shop and think I'm looking at the 55-60cm range. 

I think I can get a Raven for a bit cheaper locally so I will likely pass on that one, but thank you!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
