As per the previous thread, if you decide on cramps, and ice ax is also required and you should practice with them before going into terrain that a fall could hurt you more with cramps than without them if you fail to arrest correctly. My opinion is climb a less steep gully in ski boots only and you'll be fine. |
Thanks for the tips. My plan was to do Left Gully unless advised otherwise, with Hillman's possibly as a backup.
