Highly recommended.

I use this as my second tool when one axe is not enough, and I often carry it as a "just in case I want to cross a steep snowfield" option. It's far too short for me to use as a walking axe, but that's not a fault, just something to note. The short length also makes it less than ideal for self-arresting, but it's workable. As a second tool, it really shines. I finally got a chance to put it to good use on some glacier ice this past weekend, and it's far more confidence-inspiring to swing and mid-dagger than its featherweight specs would imply. I have the hammer option and it's amazing how often you can find a use for that thing...

I dig this axe for climbs where you want something light and versatile. I used it on a recent Wasatch climb that had moderate snow, a little easy ice, and rock. The hand rest is easy to adjust with a mitten on to move it up for plunging in snow or down for a handle. It’s super light. I put one dmm ice screw holder on my harness to holster it when not in use and that worked great. Not a substitute for technical axes for anything above ~WI2+ for me. Also quite short, so might want a full sized axe for lengthy uses. I’ll definitely keep carrying on alpine climbs.
