Get in touch!

Wayne and Cathy are joined by British Mountain Guide Adrian Nelhams who shares his gargantuan knowledge and experience of ice axes. Together they cover why you might need to carry one, when you definitely need one and talk about why an ice axe is only part of your winter safety kit. Covering everything from walking axes to technical tools they also discuss the big question: to leash or not to leash? And why exactly does going leashless involve still using a leash?? All will be revealed........including what Adrian keeps close to his chest.
