I like the Venoms.
50 cm hammer and 57 cm axe seem about right for snow and ice.

The Sarken is a crampon which climbs ice and snow very well at the same time, the front point orientation makes them also good for mixed climbing. They are light enough to be great for alpine ascents….
I love them and I would not change them with anything else for alpine technical climbing, although for pure waterfall ice I use most of the time my Rambo 4…
the G14 is more traditional mountaineering crampon, but I do not have experience with them...

Are you confusing the G14s with G12's? G14's are similar to the Sarken, both having vertical front points and about the same weight (~35oz). G12's are more traditional, with horizontal front points, and weigh a bit less.
