1. No crampons climbing
Bingpo moderate climbing may from time to time with crampons, but we must maintain a balance. The body from a point of balance to the next one. At each point on the inside foot (the mountain) in the former above the lateral foot (down the hill) make every effort to outrigger weight concentrated in the medial foot bones, as much as possible to reduce the burden on the muscles. Hand to hold the hill with the ice ax, only when the body and legs can be moved to maintain balance. Such as ice ax has hit solid step forward, the foot can be moved. Ice climbing should pay attention to the use of ice as a pin-point where irregular.
Bingbi first way is to climb the steep stairs dug. Crampon invention, the excavation necessary steps will not be great, but sometimes still need to use. If you do not bring crampons or Bingbi a shorter distance without time-consuming to use crampons, you can still use the digging stage approach. If the ice is broken or inexperienced, it is best to climb stairs, or digging. Even wearing crampons, dug some small steps can also increase the safety factor. Steps can also serve as a small platform for people to take a break.
There are two steps: "zigzag" and "linear", both cases must stand before the digging stage balance. The usual first step is to stand firm, chisel two steps, hit into the ice ax guarantee security after the three fixed points, and then on to a new equilibrium point, cutting the next two steps and so on. In the gentle slope are generally single zigzag, double zigzag moderate slope in order to ensure a balance. On the use of the steep linear.
In a relatively soft ice (such as the summer ice tower) dug 3-shaped stage, we must first stand in a balanced position, lateral hand (down the hill) grip ice ax. Shoulder axis of natural waving ice ax, the main advantage of the weight of the cross-mouth ho smashed into the ice edge, the main stem of the ice is a more physical exertion more, can be hit with both hands. Even smashed several times, put a hole in the ice Zachu. The width of the hole can accommodate a foot to the lateral end of a small plane, so that toe resist. Then pick the stained-clear, a step to do the work. (More steep Bingbi, you can chisel point of a small hand-dug, when the steps used to magnify).
Ruo-Bing hard and easy to crack, the ice pick into the sharp drop in the level so as to determine the level of the bottom well, followed by the vertical cutting of the ice, the pin-point will not be damaged. Steps to the inward slightly concave, so that is not easy to slide down feet. Gentle slope to a higher level may be smaller, to accommodate part of the foot can be, but the steep slope to a higher level must be able to placement supports the whole foot. The person to step chisel open larger so that the whole branch can be used by climbers. Prepared to change the direction of the zigzag bands of ice, first dig a big step, two feet to be able to put down, and then rotate the body to change the grip-ho posture. Steps throughout the excavation process, must use the wrist strap will pick sets, so that more effort. Dispose of the event when the ice ax will not fall. Deng steep Bingbi directly, we should dig a straight line steps. Two steps of mutual equality, about shoulder width apart with each other in order to easily climb the vertical distance shall prevail. Each step in turn to both for hand-foot point, so every one should be able to boot placement supports the first half of the ice at the same time to have a small hand-point bulge. Stairs carved into the first, and then cross-mouth to make a hand-point edge. If you want top-down cutting steps, the easiest way is to direct a string of ladder-like steps chisel. That is the first firm, face down, at the station at cutting down the two steps. Under the first lateral foot "down the hill", and then under the medial foot "to the mountains". After the firm. Chisel a time to a new level, the next lateral foot, and then stand firm, and then cutting to a new level, the next inner legs, so forth. Digging step problem in the open air, tired and difficult. Also brings a slippery ice surface. So often in need of protection. In response to emergency situations, we should use every opportunity to practice daily with the ice ax digging stage technology.

2, with crampons to climb

Born out by the French-German-based technology from the modern crampon techniques, can reduce the climbing those tired, improve the efficiency of climbing. Zhao Jian easy to step on the gentle slope on the ice into the use of flat-step forward, slope exceeds 45 degrees and the ice hard when, you use the pre-kick style, usually more in the gentle slope on the practice to help improve their skills, increase self-confidence, to the steep slopes on easier to adopt a bold and decisive approach.
Whether Ping-step or a pre-kick-style, an experienced climbing the total attention is paid to those who step on the ice Zhao Jian stable center of gravity from one foot to another only when the transition smooth and firm. Ice Climbing with crampons must be bold. Focus on the climb itself. But the bold does not mean reckless. It is a self-confidence, a skill, through long-term tempering, increasing the length and difficulty of training in order to come, it requires tireless enthusiasm.

1, gentle slope, middle slope / slope when the snow is less than 35 degrees
Ping-step (three-point climbing France, French technology) method is a single-hand climbing above the ice ax, ice ax the noose cover on the wrist to prevent the loss, ice ax sharp end of the ice for the third point of use. Ice ax pick tip and the feet must be at least two contacts with the snow and ice slope.
First step is clumsy when using flat again overly complex, but once mastered, this method can guarantee a very high safety factor because it is the foot in the control of balance, crampon tip of each vertical play a role. Slope increases, to ease the ankle pressure, toe Yuelai turning down the mountain as long as you can. The best choice ankle boots are free of ice. In addition, the boots also help to relax the upper half loose ankle. Wear crampons on the ice slope to walk slowly almost no special technology. As long as the stride foot later in some (foot posture such as penguins toe) can be. This crampon does not hook clothes and will not step on the other foot. To a foot of each step on the ice Zhaojian have stepped into the real ice surface, to move ahead. Ice ax use the stick grip, to grasp self-help approach, Gao pointed forward, the palm grip horizontal edge. Ice ax into the snow straight ahead, homeopathic move two steps forward, pull up ice ax, re-action. Slope increases, let the toe straight to the mountains is very inconvenient. Here to separate the outside foot, take the duck steps. Still use the stick grip grip-ho. If the slope continues to increase, maintain the original potential ankle will hurt. At this time we should follow, "the word" line, still using flat-step, relying on a single hand-held ice ax snow slope, his legs moving in a straight line, stride can not be too big. Oblique d.m.z., ice ax of the Pick-forward, straight into the snow, ice ax, relying on slope stability of the foot before stepping forward, rear foot forward and then step on the front foot near the toes, riding a steady forward and then pull up ice ax into the snow, Repeat. Ramp down, the ice ax of the picks, the posture and the pace of mobile and inclined board with. Attention is paid to all the soles of the feet of the crampons into the ice bar. Do not use crampons side. Steepening slope downward turn when feet, to ensure that foot step on the ice. Deng steepest slope when the toes should be pointing down the mountain. Slope increases again when the ice ax is not nature column. To ensure safety, the application side grip-ho law. Ho Shence lateral hand (with self-help positions) cross-grip ice ax at the top, the inside handle to the bottom of the live-ho, ho, to tie into the ice, and then moved the body. Sideways grip force on the ho-ho when the point should be concentrated in the grip of the hands (inside hand), shake hands for a fixed ice ax pick axes, and also to prevent people backward Bingbi. Should have sufficient length of the ice ax, otherwise people tend to lean down on the Bingbi. So it is best not short ice ax. No matter how skilled, with a short ice ax is also very difficult.

Take a zig-zag steps, a two-step. (And the snow slope without crampons to walk similar to) Remember that at any time should be equal in Bingbi feet. First, the inside foot (the mountain) in the lateral foot (down the hill) before the top, this time for the balance. Then the outer leg forward at the top step, the pressure on the inside foot of the knee, the legs submitted to the fork. If ankle cross, it is difficult to stand even harder the next step. In a few feet inside and restore balance. Body weight crampons on. Do not lean against Bingbi on the angle of the body and keep Bingbi, or crampons easily Niuchu ice. The use of concave and irregular at foot foot, to ease the pressure on the ankle. Zigzag rise, the forward arm's distance tie into the ice ax, and then step two steps. Whether with the stick-type grip or a sideways grip, the distance to pick just the next step until that time to reach the hip. Change direction without crampons climbing methods and the same, as long as the attention and feet flat. Up by a balance point, plunging to the ice in the ice ax. Lateral foot (down the hill) towards the front, and roughly the same medial foot height (this time for the unbalanced state), pairs of hand-ho, the body turned Bingpo. And then a single hand-ho, the body slightly turned to a new direction, while the inside (uphill) foot switch to the new direction, micro-refers to the mountains. At this time facing Bingpo grip, feet was standing outside the eight characters. (If the instability can be felt before the kick-type) to the new direction of a step foot outside. Ho shook hands to restore the original mode (side-type or stick type). The direction of the change coming.
