[pct-l] Extra Axe
You are quite right about a group leader taking an extra ice axe ( or
Glasses, etc. ) , but my point is the value of not losing the one you have
and most thru-hikers won't be carrying a pair one. A wrist strap or cord to
your chest harness is of great value. Esp. for a solo climber as a strong
cord connected to a simple nylon chest harness helps on simple self belays on
rest breaks. ( Just shove your axe to the hilt in the snow and your safe or
when doing that little two hand thrust when going up the steep stuff)
