    Personally I just use light walking poles for the walking and carry ice axe etc as well if I think I might need it for snow and ice. My light walking axe is under 400g so not too much weight to strap on your pack on for a might-need-it trip, I also have heavier technical axes for steep stuff but thats another story, they haven't been used in a while.
