In this episode of into the mountains, you get to tag along with me as I practise how to self arrest, then me and our filmer Carlos practise how to self arrest using a ski pole and lastly, how to self arrest with an ice axe. This ski series contains 4 types of video episodes. 1 Learning episodes where I pick the brain of experts and share with you. 2 Practise episodes showing how I practise the skills learned. 3 Challenge episodes where I self-impose a challenge to see my physical or technical limits. 4 Objectives where I ski beautiful ski objectives to gain experience while reflecting on what was learned. I hope you will enjoy this journey into the mountains. /Jens Nyström

9:56 🤣🤣 I really liked the Reflections at the end. That whole idea of reminding yourself on the mountain before anything could happen really works for me

Good on you guys for practicing this skill! something you hope to never need but if you do need it....!

Thanks for sharing. I am a beginner mountaineer. Great tips how to use an ice axe. Hopefully, next winter I will attend a mountaineering skills class. Unfortunately, winter 2023 my classe was canceled due to extreme weather conditions in Mammoth, California USA.

I think it's a great video! The only thing I would mention is that having skis, crampons, or backpacks on change things a lot. It's important to practice with those as well.

@StompItTutorials Жыл бұрын

Good point should have done that.

Most people don’t recomend practicing with crampons, the risk of injury is just too high.

I don't think I'll ever ski something so steep and high in my lifetime (I adore skiing, but I'm very afraid of steeps), but I'm highly enjoying watch "Into the Mountains". Amazing videos, Jens, keep being awesome!!!!! :)

Love it mate. Would like to see a video on how an advanced skier can get into touring/ski mountaineering.

great video, Jens! regarding thinking "am I wearing crampons or not?": I think it is better to train for "crampons on" case only. I doubt that in case of bad fall, there is a chance for think and do analysis. I would practice my muscle memory to always lift the feet up.

Its a fair point.

It helps to practice some of this. Can't do it without a SWATCH sponsorship first.

how do you transport your skies on the bike?

@dakdak7609 Жыл бұрын

Now try it with a decent weight day sack on. It does make a difference. Could also try a whippet pole (Black Diamond). Crampons catching and flipping you does and has happened, can be big flip time and maybe a body bag. Going down head first on your back and using the crampons lightly up hill was something I was told about as a last resort - but told not to practice…but going down head first just seems daft. I have also been told of successful arrests with a helmet, but I don’t think I could get mine off that quickly.

@StompItTutorials Жыл бұрын

Wearing a back pack would have made it more interesting too. Ill try another time. I certainly belive one must be careful with crampons on. Seems like a bad time. With the helmet. Just digging the face into the snow to get the edge of the helmet in?

@dakdak7609 Жыл бұрын

@@StompItTutorials the story with the helmet was remove it and dig the edge in. Supposedly been done but I struggle to get mine off with gloves on just stood on a belay. I wouldn’t want to try it with it on, the neck pressure would be scary. Although needs must if above a vertical drop I guess.

Hilarious tutorial. Where do you carry the ice pick so you can access it quickly?

@StompItTutorials Жыл бұрын

Usually in the backpack or on the backpack and occasionally under the shoulder strap.

@paulwhetstone0473 Жыл бұрын

@@StompItTutorials It seems like there wouldn’t be enough time to get the pick out. The ski pole seems more likely to help.

@@paulwhetstone0473 If you're at risk of falling, ice axe should be in your hand. You're right that you'll never get it out in time. Assuming, he misunderstood your question. When in doubt, have your ice axe in hand.
