Winter Anchoring Techniques

Creating winter anchors is different. How do you grab onto a pile of snow or a column of ice and get a bombproof hold? Get nuts into an iced-up crack? And do any of it with your numb fingers out of their gloves? Yet those icy summits beckon...

Gathering at Kirkwood, we will get hands-on with these problems. Place a deadman and a picket in snow. Pound pitons into those icy cracks. Look at the optimum placement of an ice screw, then tie two or three together into a strong anchor on vertical ice. And look at a few more tricks, but not before we pull out the tools and climb those lovely smears and columns of ice hidden off on the shady side of a granite dome, half a mile ski from the road. Evenings we'll retreat to a warm fireside and rehash what we've learned. [Moon]

It is, the frigid pussies are the dumb ass clients trying to pound pins into ice filled cracks. and the "testicles" aka "dry tools" are the frozen things hanging off the balls that the guide has... practice pounding pins in ice filled cracks, shit i hope they got their own practice rock somewhere...

 

anyways everybody knows when the rock is frozen only gear that works is Spectres, DMM Ice Hooks and Tri cams
