Thread: Crampons and Ice Axe

I have limited experience with ice axe but would suggest getting the longest available as it can be better used as a walking pole (handy walking up ice covered rocky creeks etc) I'd be tempted to give the crampons a miss unless you have someone to show you the ropes so to speak/or do a course as said above. This is all based on what I've used Tahr hunting, if your planning on mountain climbing I wouldn't have a clue
