Yeah, everything is right in the video but the real problems starts when the ice is REALLY HARD!!

BTW Locus, if you want to talk to old boy here its Clamp-Ons from now in. I know why you young boys agreed to "Crampons" in the end. Because your sport was hijacked by the rainbow fags. Yeh, you know what, I dont need any tampons when I climbs mountains. Thanks. But no thanks. I think I will find another sport - like building aeroplanes and trest flying them.

Do you know any video examples of what happens if you use your clamp-ons?

It is possible; just much harder. You'll need to dig your elbows or gloves in as securely as possible. DON'T try to use your crampons.

While he is being very cautious, it's probably best not to get into the habit of using your feet. When you slip, you're most likely to do whatever you've practised automatically. If you've practised digging in your toes, and you happen to be wearing crampons, there's a good chance you'll break an ankle.Besides, knees are always better in case you hit a snag-- your hip is a much stronger joint than either your ankle or your knee.

Same here. We are planning to hike the switchback on Saturday morning. Just bought an Ice-Axe from REI for $79.99. Glad to watch this video.

Sobering. We intend to ascend Mt. Whitney in questionable ice conditions. This video will at least give us a chance, should we get in over our heads. Thanks!

Yes you're correct. The key is to keep your weight on the axe as much as possible, but with no crampons it would be silly not to use your feet. He's being a little over-cautious about the feet IMHO

O.k., so how about this guy do one with the Clampons only? Or it aint possible? I'm just saying - I bet half the doods who die lose their axe. You can't tie the axe to ya cause you will fall on it. So what? Don't lose the axe? Cold hands? Easy. So what about the clamp-ons - the state of the union address, statement to the country, whatever you call it?

Seen that happen on Shasta the first time I climbed. Guy lost it glisading in his first arrest attempt at the top of red banks. Didn't stop for 2500 feet. He was bouncing 6 feet off the snow. Walked away with bruises. Damn Lucky.
