LW's are the best; BAR NONE. I agree with others, you shouldn't have used it. Sell it on AT in the classifieds, it will sell like a hotcake as they are the best and people snatch them up on the site quickly, and they hold their value well. I love my Alpha and it is not heavy and my hand climber, and my sticks. I have owned many others over the years and wish I had just bought this LW equipment from the get go.
