“Check it out. Using a long 85cm. hiking ax as hand tool. The 'state of the art' tool of the day; a 65 cm.'terrordactyl' is the other one. I couldn't afford the ultimate tool, a Lowe Hummingbird. Tied to harness on long runners, before real leashes were 'en vogue for ice tools. Slick wool gloves against no-grip tools with no talons to hang on leashlessly. Cheap SMC hinged crampons complete the costume folks. But we managed.”
