I would not describe anything I've done as "ice climbing" but scrambling across glaciers as a university student in 1995 was as close as I've come. Let's just say that care and common sense is not so common when you're 20. We had no gear, no one knew where we were, and we were probably the only two idiots for several miles. As Bob Seeger sings, "I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then".
