Comments about PETZL Snowscopic Mountaineering Axe:
I am not a mountian climber but I Geocache frequently in snow and in icy conditions. The Snowscopic is perfect. It extends to the length that I need to use as a walking stick and climbing aid, and it really helps to dig out those caches frozen in place. It is lightweight and extremely strong. I have used it many times this winter and have been extremely pleased.
