First thing to do is sleep in a freezer without any blankets every night. Like when your nostrils freeze up. Then you must get some boxing gloves on to protect your knuckles from the bashing. Have a snorkel present for that sprindrift and avalaches so you can swim out. Bring your scuba fins too.
Second thing to do is get out there and take as many whippers as you can to rid yourself of any fear. I recommend falling on tied off half driven in screws or even spectres. Have your partner throw large ice chunks in your face to get some scars like I received last year.
Play that Jaws tune when going up couloirs and avy traps in your discman or walkman.
Oh yeah and dont bother wearing helmets cuz your head should be so hard ice will be deflected by it
Otherwise children stay at home.
PS I did have a heads up that this forum was giong to be created I just had to take care of something cronies
