My friend Andy lost an ice axe on the Kate Sleeper Trail somewhere between Whiteface and the intersection with the Downes Brook Trail. It says NUHOC on it and has a piece of foam where the head meets the shaft. If you are heading up there could you keep an eye out for it? Thanks a lot...

I just did a search of the forums and could not find a specific thread that described this topic. I have just gotten back into hiking this summer and have heard lots of talk about different types of boots for different conditions. I bought a pair of Asolo Fugitive boots and was wondering if...
