Hi, does anyone know of anyone in Sydney who can repair Ice axes? The axe is a 'classic' (for want of a better word) axe, (ie designed more for walking than climbing steep ice). The flange which holds the blade onto the shaft is broken. It's a Charlet Moser axe. Any info would be appreciated :) - Dave

Hi Dave, Try Mountain Equipment. They will probably have to send it back to France to be repaired. How did you manage to break it? If you are lucky, it could be covered under warranty. Let us know how you go.

Hi James, I'm the equipment officer for one of the university rockclimbing & mountaineering clubs. The axe was taken to Nepal, a mate was attempting Ama Dablam. I'm not sure exactly how it got broken. At ME the guy was doubtful that I'd get a warranty for an ice axe given the kind of abuse they tend to cop. Spelean said they'd need to see the axe to assess it, find out if the broken part could be purchased individually, possibly send back to France... etc. Thanks for your suggestion :) - Dave
