[pct-l] Re: ice axe, Where and when?

[calliger@infolane.com (Richard Calliger)]

Take it along.. I sent it ahead after Sierras..

But please practice with it...as Brick said--it should be second nature
and I add BEFORE u need it...
dont move in a white out
if it is dicey stay on yout toes with ice axe ready...

three things to remeber:

1- dont slip
2- If u slip dont fall
3- If u fall dont speed up
