I'm planning some trips to the high peaks of the Adirondacks and White Mountains this winter and have found that I'm gonna need ice tools. I already own a non-technical axe that's served me well on walk ups (Washington via Lionshead etc) but I need some help picking a tool or pair of tools for more serious mountaineering. My two big goals for this winter are Gothics North Face and Katahdin.
Question time!
1. Can I make do with a single technical tool and an axe or do I need a pair of ice tools?
2. I'm on a pretty tight budget, so what are some older tools that I could pick up without spending more than $100 per tool?
3. Anybody have some old tools lying around that they want to sell me?
