Black Diamond Raven

£55.00

The Black Diamond Raven has been a long-term favourite ice axe with Trail. The rubber shaft grip and leash have now been removed; however the axe is still very comfortable to hold, particularly as the head is well-contoured for the hand. You get a straight shaft and a gently curved head. The adze and pick are both well-designed for cutting ...

Primus ETA Express

£60.00

Camping stoves are prime targets for space and weight saving as they are only used for a few minutes a day when backpacking.

Better still, the stove needs to be lightweight and compact enough to pack down ...

Teva Open Toachi Leather 2009

£65.00

The Open Toachi Leather is similar to Teva’s excellent Wraptor series that has won these reviews in the past, in terms of its footbed.

Grivel Brenva

£75.00

This ice axe weighs 574g for the 58cm version, making it lighter than many other axes yet it is also rated as technical, so it is strong enough to be used for rope belaying. It is also exceptionally well finished off, and so it feels wonderfully comfortable in the hand thanks to a little extra smoothing of the contours around ...

The boot has an almost stitchless upper so this, along with a Gore-Tex lining means there is not a lot of opportunity for it to leak or fall apart with use, making it ideal for walking on rough hillsides. ...
