I reckon as long as the ice-axe is positioned so it doesn't cause injury if the walker falls then it's fine, i.e having the sharp ends across the rucksack rather than pointing inwards towards the head or arse.gammy leg walker wrote:Johnny Corbett wrote:Good stuff, enjoyed the videoLooks likes Tomsie can get access to that ice-axe in a second so no tut tut from me
