The lightweight, narrow shaft never fatigues grip even with bulky gloves on. The teeth are plenty aggressive for climbing and for self-arresting. The adze is narrower than most which allows for better penetration in hard snow as well as making it easier to cut fast and solid steps. As an all-around mountain tool, this axe has zero weaknesses.
