>>1720299well yes, i live in the alps and spend a lot time in the moldanubian. Also id rather carry a heavy hammer instead of spending ages to split that bugger i really want to bring home with me. I thought using the hammer in a walkingstick like fashion would be fitting and wanted some input or if somebody has done something like this before. My estwing hammer is pretty good for what it is. The pick you mentioned seems like a good idea thanks.
