Re: Losing his tool ?

he dropped no less than 4 screws that day as well....lets just say he was not focused. He recovered everything, no harm, no foul.

Dropped 4 ice screws... seconding?! Good effort on his part. Hope he doesn't climb leashless! I'll remember to wear a suit of armour if ever I climb behind you guys.

Re: Losing his tool ?

in the Canadian Rockies we don't climb below each other. Our backcountry is large and remote. However, we do find Europeans below us from time to time...if that is what you want to do, you will have bigger worries than a few ice screws. Cheers.
