Ziet er erg gaaf uit, toch tijd voor die eerste ijsboor? :-) Mutmal spitze zou leuk zijn om nog eens te doen.

Invisible rope

Hi Jurgen,

nice position, I just wondered as you seem to be inserting an ice screw, where is your rope?

cheers Johnnie

	Hasn't voted	Hello Johnnie, we didn't use a rope untill this point. So the rope is still in our backpack. From here we decided to use the rope. Greetz, Jurgen

You seem to be driving in an icesrew, but I don't see a rope! Are you soloing?

	Jurgen	Re: Nice photo
	Hasn't voted	We were soloing untill this point. We used this screw for our belay. So for the next section we did use a rope :-). Cheers, Jurgen

love this shot

Voted 10/10

Really nice! But man, it looks like an uncomfortable place to take off the pack, get the rope out, etc. But I guess you can clip into the screws while doing that.

	Jurgen	Re: love this shot
	Hasn't voted	The snow was pretty solid, so it was comfortable to stay just below the ice. And, one does need some ice for screws.. So consider this point as a compromise :)
