What is this??

I picked up a never used ULA P2, and this was in the side pocket. Can anyone tell me what it's used for. It's a Velcro strap, but I don't know it's purpose.

looks like a velcro ice axe / pole strap that was cut off. ULAs used to have the silver and logo, then they went to all black.
The pole/axe tip goes in a loop on the bottom of pack, then the strap wraps around the handle near the top to secure it.

You can see them in this circuit pic




and this older Ohm

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense
