I have a Mc'Innes Pterrordactyl hammer in mint condition if you want to try it, it even has the original rewoven orange polypro leash.

Thanks Luc! I bought that Hummingbird so I need a longer axe right? Plus I'm off to North Conway til March 14th on Friday. I can't take the cold temps in KV any more so I'm going someplace warmer! Haha..

Any recommendations on an axe to go with the Hummingbird? A buddy said I shouldn't use my axe since its new. What you think?

I have an old Hummingbird axe and a Simond Chakal. The Hummingbird is incredibly heavy compared to modern tools, it will probably wear out your arm after a few swings. The Chacal is much lighter but the picks broke a lot.
