Which axe? - Pacific Crest Trail

imported
#1

Planning a southbound thru hike on the PCT starting June 15th and was wondering what kind (brand and model) past thru’s have used and where to find good deals on axes. I have been looking at several black diamond axes - raven and raven pro. The lighter the better obviously, but is it worth the money? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Though I’m not know about those that you mentioned you might check out the Gerber line of light axes they are durable and most likely less expensive.
