#TBT to 1953, and the the Eddie Bauer-outfitted Third American Karakoram Expedition. When Pete Schoening was preparing to leave for Pakistan, he got a visit from friend and fellow climber, Tom Miller. The two men were going over the gear and, looking at Pete’s ice axe, Tom said, “You’re not using that thing, you’re taking mine.” Pete’s axe, like most, was European ash. Tom had replaced the shaft of his axe with hickory, a much stronger wood. He insisted that Pete take the hickory axe to K2.

Pete and that hickory-shafted axe would go on to become mountaineering legend. Read "The Belay" at the link in our profile.
