Ways to climb a slope and safety

In order to save energy, try to follow the previously left footprints. Be careful not to destroy the uphill footprint when descending. Take turns to open the way and master the rhythm. Do not step too much to reduce muscle fatigue. When a tall person opens, he must take care of the other players' steps. The footprints kicked out by the opener must be deep. Use the heel instead of relying on the forefoot to support the weight.

Rest step:

Use an effective rest position while standing in a pause: When supporting the slope, use the lower (outer) leg to support the body weight. This leg should be straight and use the bone instead of the muscle to support the weight. The inner leg is bent and the inner foot is diagonally above the lateral foot. This is a natural and stable posture.

Master the rhythm, with breathing.

Go uphill to take the route or directly. Especially in the case of one person opening the way and others following, the route of walking within the sixty degree gradient is relatively labor-saving. Sometimes the open surface of the snow is frozen and people can't step on the complete footprints. People behind will benefit too, and gradually step on the footprints.

Be sure to develop the habit of holding hailstones inside!

The ropes must be on the seatbelt from the downhill side of the body to the players behind them to prevent them from tripping.

Reversal point to hail to change hands, change the edge of the rope. It is necessary to stop people before and after.

If there is a risk of avalanche, the slope is very steep or very slow, or if you want to grab the time, you can go straight up the slope. It does not matter whether it is an uphill leg or a downhill leg, but the principle of a rest step can also be used.

Self protection:

When the slope is relatively steep and there is a danger of falling, you can use hailstone to protect yourself. The method is to force the hail vertically into the snow on the inside obliquely when the rest step is paused (stable posture). Then take two steps to return to the stable position of the rest step, then pull out the hail and repeat the above action. . . In other words, there is always a hail in the snow as a fulcrum and protection point. 5. Immediately with the empty hand grab the position of the hail handle closest to the snow. At the same time, try to shift the center of gravity toward the hand holding the hail (so that the hail can be inserted deeper).

When faced with a steep slope, you can pick it up with your hands. (Because it is too steep and facing straight up)

Be sure to learn the technique of self-braking after sliding;

Otherwise, do not have a snow slope that is at risk of slipping.

The technique of self-braking is not easy to talk about here. It is advisable to find a person who will learn or refer to the books that have pictures. To learn how to put pressure in different postures after the fall (the most difficult is probably head downhill). And always practice in a safe place. The sooner the brakes are, the better. When the slip speed is high, it is often impossible to stop until the snow is not perfect (until it hits an obstacle).

The importance of slipping is to prevent, the pace must be stable, the above-mentioned self-protection, hail, and where on the rope should be carefully observed.

When the snow is very wet and sticky, it easily sticks on the crampons, and it is heavy and easy to slide. You can hit the crampon side with a hailstick. Or use anti-slip (available, you can also use empty 2L Coke bottle).
