No route description or any information whatsoever. No ice axes, how would you have stopped a cravasse fall or even started a rescue with a hiking pole???
The ice axe not always has to be carried in hand, but should be ready in case of e.g. a crevasse fall. To store it, push the axe between the shoulder blade and the backpack strap. It depends on conditions and group size.
@@mountains-to-the-sea So your partner drops down a cravasse, the rope pulls tight and quickly drags you towards the edge of the hole and you have to stop yourself sliding towards the abyss. Are you going to put the situation on pause whilst you reach for your axe to arrest the fall? Not a chance! Glad I'll never share a rope with you, I'd be dead if somebody went down a hole.
