Примерно выглядит как будто идёшь на стременах и фифах, то есть, ставишь фифу и нагружаешь стремена, получается scratching technique ! Спасибо что поделился Стас !

С той маленькой разницей что фифы и стремена это эйд

Wow! I have free-soloed 3,000 vertical feet of WI5 in one day, free-soloed one pitch of WI5 with a sea kayak tied to my harness, free-soloed one pitch of WI5 hopping on one leg, but I can't free-solo an ice pillar this slender!

Thank you for sharing. What do you use to film your climbs? What kind of GoPro? What kind of mount?

[@Mrthirtyseven]

do you do the same thing for your feet? scratch with the crampons like with the ice tool?

[@stasbeskin8153]

Never tried it. Maybe its a good idea...

[@ryanthomas4549]

You say that you “developed” this technique? That’s a bold statement. “New” ?

[@evanescence1984]

There are two types of PXS00 picks - www.krukonogi-titanium.com/store/PXS00-A-TN-Replacement-pick-for-Cassin-X-Dream-Armor-steel-pure-ice-Stas-Beskin-Edition-p216350469 and www.krukonogi-titanium.com/store/PXS00-A-Replacement-pick-for-Cassin-X-Dream-Armor-steel-pure-ice-Stas-Beskin-Edition-p190989340 Which one are you using Stas, and what are the differences between those picks? Thanks in Advance

[@stasbeskin8153]

The same pick. TN stands for titanium coating on top of the standard armor (A) steel. People say TN picks hold the tip longer. I cannot comment because I never used them. I use standard pxs00a
