Dane Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Always worth a reminder. Will Gadd recently covered it quickly in his blog. "If you don't have a good placement don't pull up on it. The situation will not improve. Make good placements, which are pretty much always possible. I see so many climbers get shallow placement and then pull up on it anyhow, which leads them to place the second tool at the same level as the poor placement." More here, a video and several other links as well. http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/2011/01/ice-climbing-skills-and-techniques.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
