Ice axes are brilliant for navigating through snowy conditions on a mountain walk, but metal gets very slippery and extremely cold to the touch (even through gloves!). I added some black Sugru to the top part of the axe head which helped add grip and insulate my hands from the cold metal. Worked a treat (thoroughly tested at -15 degrees!)
