In reply to UKC News: I was thinking of going to the next series. Does anyone think it would be possible to try out lots of different types of ice axes there before I decide on what to buy to replace my current axes. Its a big lay out buying axes. Anyone?

In reply to Aigen:

We have been trying to get more axe manufacturers in to do a sort of try b4 you buy thing but not managed this year.

However :

At the ice factor you can try some Grivel Kit as they are the main sponsor. and you will find competitors with nearly every ice tool out there and they are all generally good to let you have a look / use them for a route or to hang off some hold to try them out!
