In reply to Roberttaylor: seems someone's trying to pull a fly one on that listing. Not a nice axe at all!

Question to seller...

"I don't see the spade, is it missing?

Also what grade ice climbs is it rated for?
Will I be able to climb grade VI on Ben Nevis with it?"
In reply to ewar woowar:

Very good! But I'm sure some one will fall for the trap! Sure it'll be fine for at least WI7

Where do the leashes get attached?
In reply to Ander:
See the wee hole at the end of the shaft, round where you fit the grivel horns? That's where you clip your ultra skinny crabs for spinner leashes
