So, after a pleasant weekend (11th to 13th May 2012) in the Cairngorms, I decided to leave my ice axe on the ground next to my car and drive away without it and not realise this fact until I was back in Edinburgh.
It's an old red Mountain technology crank shaft, tech pick on it, with a Petzl leash.
Anyone found one??? I would have left the carpark about 1pm on the Sunday. Space next to one of the parking meters.
