@GarethA I’ve unhijacked the thread into a different one so that the subject is more likely to get the right attention.
@MartinBull if I do get my axes back then I’ll be happy to lend you them after Gareth finishes with them. The crampons that go with them have well worn front points but they’ll be fine for easy gully climbing like on most ski tours as long as you adjust them forward of the boot tips.
