Ice Axe for beginners
Had this recommend by a mate who spend plenty of time in the winter hills since it comes with the arm strap and it helps in those steep scree/ice climbs for sure. Can give it heaps in the elements as its solid but light.

Great item excellent price used it last week and it was great
Almost half the weight of my old one which is much better for an old elbow injury. And a bonus cos less pack weight when climbing up to the snow.
Can't rate it any higher at present as have not used it carried it for 3 days last week not much snow about nice and light
