    Good idea to do a trip with someone experienced to help you learn to use the axe and crampons - knowing the theory is all very well but if you haven't practiced then you won't necessarily have the same reflexive reactions to self-arrest if you do go for a slide on a snow slope.

    On top of the safety aspect, its bloody good fun to
    But only if the person on the end of rope (when first starting.... ) is on to it.
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....
