Got a couple of weeks off work and am going to try and get a bit of ice climbing in. But my trusty Koflachs are at the end of the road. They were 32 years old when I bought them second hand and are fully falling apart.
I love the La Sportiva TX4s that I did the Cuillin Ridge in ( straight out of the box) so am minded to get Nepals or Cube GTX. The latter look to be a fair bit lighter. But part of me thinks I'm totally overdoing it and should get something less.... extrem.
I'm complete sub punter level on ice. Did one Scottish 4 and a few WI 3or4 in Norway many years ago ( 20+?)
Dabbled since then, but not done owt since the Downfall one Friday night 12 years ago.
What should I buy instead of the Nepals that aligns better with my lowly aspirations ( Aonach Eagach, Raven Crag Gully, following someone more talented than me up .5 perhaps...
