The Axe

Established in 1999, the Axe recognises outstanding personal contributions to the Club.  The award is represented by a wood handled ice axe which, back in the 1970s, was one of several in the ANUMC gearstore and was likely to have been used on various club mountaineering expeditions to New Zealand and Nepal. Was awarded last year to Steve Lade
