RE: Re: Camp Corsa review

Well, the only one except for the ULA potty trowel. It came out at least 3
or 4 years ago.

Thanks for the post(s).

I have both of these ice axes on my list of "to buy" for my 2013 PCT thru
and your post helps with my research as to which one I want to carry. (BTW -
these are not only both on my list but the ONLY ones on my spreadsheet under
the ice ax heading)

I have been thinking that the Corsa is all that will be needed in a "normal"
show year on the PCT.

'til later,
jon
