Winter Approaches...and Ice Anchor Workshop Movie
With the Scottish highlands recieving another light dusting of snow, http://mountainplan.blogspot.com/ and a forecast predicting more to come, http://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/static/scotland/84/snow, its time to seriously start thinking about this winter season.
Gear is slowly starting to come out of the cupboard, route tick lists are being compiled, new additions are being made to the winter rack and all in vain of another good season which will hopefully live up to the last 2 years.
For this winter i have replaced my boots with the new and different, Millet Radikal Pro, http://www.milletusa.com/catalogue/radikal-pro-p-1004.html?temp=1&typo_prod=1:us&cPath=1_5_23, which are pretty none existant over here in the uk. I will make a short review of how i get on with these after i have given them a blast.
The usual topics are arising on ukc and the like about winter gear, protection, systems, techniques etc, so heres a quick movie i find interesting, which shows and compares different ice anchors, and what actually happens when an anchor fails.
