Start talking about the quality and texture of the ice, depending on various factors such as temperature, location, height, … to continue to emphasize the placement of insurance to avoid risk.
The article continued with some recommendations on the necessary equipment, including ice axes. And finally, a few tricks for setting up meetings and placement of screws.
