B.GillisI would say the gully can be used as a general axe (if you have no other option) but it’s more intended to be a lightweight mellow ice tool. Definitely more of an aggressive pick than a true mountaineering axe. I have two now and they would work for some lower angle ice like you can find on a lot of the mountaineering routes around the USA. I wouldn’t really want to take them on vertical water ice but others have. Cody Townsend uses them a lot on the 50 classic lines.
I also own the Petzl summit and I find it to be a general mountaineering ice axe. It’s a lot nicer than the bd raven imo. The pick is a little bit shorter than the pick on the raven but the metal seems a lot stronger. I also don’t love the rubber handle at the base of the summit but it hasn’t been a problem or anything like that.
I don’t know what your intended use is but I would also look into the Petzl ride. Lighter than the summit but has more of a general less aggressive mountaineering style pick with a lightweight body. I think this is more of cross between technical and general. Only things to consider are the spike design and the length. Some people don’t like the spike style on the ride because it doesn’t punch into firm snow as well as the triangular style. And 45cm is pretty short.
Would be using it for skiing and climbing in the cascades. I wished I had a more aggressive axe on Mt Hood and the Kautz glacier on Rainier, and times I wanted a lighter axe like on Glacier peak slog and summer snowfield crossings. Seems like the Ride or Gully could be a good addition to my quiver if I keep the Raven, and can replace that at some point if needed.

Definitely sounds like one of the two would be a good addition to your quiver for sure. Have fun out there.
.butterz.Duke Cannon Soap with the tactical scrubber.
That is the move. Love Duke Cannons products but one day Facebook recommended “The Duke Cannon Lodge” and it’s like their fan club. Super fucking culty. Like dudes seriously get fired up about soap and go on raids to other soaps Facebook pages.
19/20 Chronics. The 20/21 model was Only 20 euros more, but I just like the 19/20 graphics so much more. Really enjoying them and the understated graphic
a ticket to Snowbasin for tomorrow to hopefully ski with some friends.
Last time I skied there, it was like $80 to ski a few years ago and I got charged $169 for a full day, haha unreal. Worth it to spend time with friends though i guess.

I just joined that club on Facebook! I've seen a lot of good whiskey sales and that new shamrock soap!
r00kieAlready talking like a tele dude. Whats next? A long white beard that only half grows in?
Not sure if I'll ever be able to grow a long beard but I'll definitely start saying I get way more face shots than I actually do and claiming to be a "televangelist"

Maybe these will last me more than three months? Lord I hate flat pedal shoes with a burning passion. Almost enough to switch to clips.
I also have a love hate relationship with flat pedals and flat pedal shoes. I had a pair of giro riddance that lasted about a month before the soles were so torn up that the pedal body contacted the sole more than the pins, and now I have RC Hellion that seem to be holding up much better. I like flats because I like jumping and they make a lot more sense for fitting in rides during the workweek, but I've been considering going back to clipless for my mtb and will definitely run clipless once I get a fixed gear built up again.
Sooo I'm a yellowjacket?! does this mean I can do whatever I want?

TnskiThis is all to confusing, I'm going back to sleep
It can all become clear if you can find some real, true, clean stuff.
So much garbage today. Makes me sad. They say it is, but it is not!
How's a person going to judge the hippies of the past when they get some shit, and make a judgement.
I can see how they might say that shit sucked!
There should be a law against fake shit that is shit.
Owsley knew what he was doing.
