Ice climbing is cool and ice axes are really cool, so I go at the ice bullishly. I soon find there's more technique to it than I'd anticipated, or that relates to rock climbing. I manage not to embarrass myself entirely, and largely avoid slipping and sliding on my belly or arse down the thirty and forty degree sections. Though, in the more vertical sections, thankfully on a rope, I fall twice in an over-zealous haste.

Dear Santa,
I´ve been mostly pretty good this year, and am I nice enough guy, once you get to know me. This christmas, would you kindly arrange the following:
a KFC Megabucket
a motorcycle helmet - a cool one, with flames on the side
a pair of ice axes
a selection of real ales
Cheers,
Steven
