Steep ground - In summary |
|
|
ravelling on steep ground is all about not falling off in the wrong place.
This means: - Spotting and preparing for dangerous ground (recognising dangerous terrain) and thinking about using your skills and equipment before you have a drama (avoidance, anticipation and preparation).
- Using the right equipment to move securely when it does get steep (building an anchor, use of the rope, cramponing skills, using your ice axe, using your ski poles, ensuring your own safety).
- Stopping yourself if you do fall (self arrest).
