How to Ice Climb: Swinging Ice Tools and Efficient Movement Sequence

If you are going to get into alpine climbing, you need to be able to handle the variable conditions which mountains present to us. So, beyond snow and rock, one may need to contend with ice. You may love ice climbing, like my kids and I do, or you may grudgingly pursue it, but it is a necessary set of skills to have for mountaineering. Last video, we talked about good footwork (   • How to Ice Climb: Foundational Footwork  ). Today we talking about making efficient swings and combining all the individual techniques into a full movement sequence.
