I need advice about Iceaxes: Next year I would climb some routes on Ben Nevis northface in winter. What type of iceaxes are best suitable for this kind of climbs. I have experience in iceclimbing in the Alps (I am dutch) Thanx for your help

In reply to marijnpeter:
Any pair of modern technical tools will be fine, curved is best (as for anywhere) but straight shafts will be ok too.
Charlet Axars or Quarks
BD Vipers
DMM Fly or Predators
Simond Pirhanas or Najas
etc etc
I'd avoid competition axes though...

In reply to marijnpeter: What routes are you thinking of doing?
