Depends on how steep your ice patch is. Crampons are really good when you have steep slopes and you need to do some real front pointing. Crampons are good for mixed climbing as well. They are als...
For the scenario, no backpack, no nothing, just a short hike and you find your treasure shining in the sun. Find a piece of grass that won't break easily and can be bended without breaking in seg...
