[pct-l] Thru-hiking, ice axes and self arrest

[Eskie user <sfox@eskimo.com>]

This email list recently chronicalled the death of one man in the Sierra
who didn't self arrest. 

Although I haven't slipped on the PCT, I have other places. Probably this
is the case with many others. Boy, can you pick up speed in a big hurry!
Arresting has to be aggressive and remember to never give up!
