Rubber Tape for Ice Axes

Post by chris.smith »

If you want to put rubber tape on your ice axes to insulate them and to increase friction DONT but from needle sports, snow and rock etc as they will charge you £6 for a roll of 1m which will only do one axe.
You can get shed loads of the same tape for so much cheaper, it is basically SELF aMALGAMATING TAPE and can be bought at B&Q, screwfix etc for £3 for 10 metres heres a link

Its exactly the same stuff but you get far more for far less
