I'm looking for a shorter ice axe (mine is about 80) and crampons with more points and security (I have 10).

Ideal axe is the BD Raven or similar general mountaineering axe, 70 cm. 65 would be ok too.
Ideal crampons are 12 point with strap front, heel clamp rear (I have rigid sole boots with heel welt but no toe welt- Asolo Titan size 10)

Please PM if you have gear to offload!

Jim

The BD Raven, Grivel G12 or Petzl Vlasak are usually available at A16 or REI. Good luck!

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm hoping to find used gear for less money than new.

If nothing used comes up I'll go with Elevation in Lone Pine. Prices much better than the big guys.
