Hey i'm new to ice climbing and want to buy a pair of axes. I was looking at BD Rage and BD Cobra was wondering which would be better? Thanks for the help.

I have Rage and like them. Less chance of breaking the Rage. And money left over to spend on other stuff.

its not what other people think is best it is what works best for you. take some good advice, attend an ice festival and demo all the tools and find a pair that suits you. $300-500 is alot to spend on a pair of tools you cant test drive. happy hunting, john
