Winter skills descending a ice slope with crampons using the flat foot technique
Learning winter skills in Scotland 1:1. A Winter skills weekend. A great weekend in Aviemore practicing winter skills. Kicking steps , use of the ice axe while walking, ice axe arresting for when things go wrong, and the use of crampons using front pointing, flat footing and hybrid techniques. We also looked at protecting members of the group up and down snow slopes with snow belays stompers and boot axe belays. A great time with great weather in the Cairngorms Scotland.
Practicing Ice axe arresting at the beginning of the winter seasons keeps all your skills fresh
