This is a light axe, for sure. I like it fine for walking; the head is comfortable in piolet (or however you spell it) position. The pick is pretty good although I'd like it to penetrate in ice better. The real pain for me is the adze. It is angled down and is a hassle to use. I'm thinking of bending it up but I know it will weaken it. If I had it to do over again, I'd get a SMC...

The Eagle is alright for walking but I wouldn't go too far up the mountain with it.
