Stas Beskin about new iceclimbing technique

Stas Beskin is our pro athlete from International #krukonogiPROteam in Canada. This video shows in depth new application of an ice climbing axe in his new technique . This is very specific and very strenuous climbing on pure ice by the end of the season. Most specific of this technique - krukonogi.com picks for Cassin X-Dream Ice Axes - PXS(A). It was designed and made specifically for Stas on his request.

This is some next level ice climbing! Bravo

Do you reconfigure your picks at the tip in a different way? Maybe with a set of tools for thin ice that have a finer tip blade and more of a beak curve to them?

This is absolutely insane! How does he climb with those huge brass balls ?

[@SimonAndrews1337]

Nice!

Sorry Beskin but this technique was being used in the early 1990s. On free hanging curtains this technique is the only thing that works if there is nothing to hook. Jeff Lowe (r.i.p.) did this exact thing.

[@adkrider33]

Exactly, as did many others.

I invent things all the time that I find that someone(s) before me have invented. He has named this the Scratch Technique not the Beskin Technique. I don't see any ego here, just a genuine desire to share a technique that will help others.
