I like this video. If you’re serious about climbing a mountain that still has a lot of snow on it, the skills on this video are things that you must know. Check it out:

Bob, I watched the Ice arrest video, very good stuff… BUT it does not work as well on gravel as it does on ice (so it appears!) :(

You telling me you used you axe on a gravel slope? For shame!
