pretty Flys for a white guy  8)

Ice axes make me all giddy.  Got my Grivel air-tech the other week, and giggle like a kid everytime I pick it up... to have one for each hand - oh the carnage!

Nearly got the G12 crampons as well, but decided to try the BD sabetooth.  On that note, I did get those Omegas in the end.  I think I can make them work:  The fit appears to be as Scarpa recommend - I certainly couldn't have them any smaller, although the arch seems too big or too far forward (weird, as I have quite high arches - would really kill a flat foot)?  I might borrow a heat gun and gently soften them a bit to mould the outer as well as the inner!  Toasty and light at any rate.  Then for a wee scitter more snow to try them in anger before les Alpes.
