flyingfinn Dec 2021 11:24am, 6 Dec 2021 2,944 posts	0 flyingfinn During the 1992 KIMM I had a rather hair raising experience coming off Place Fell as a result of using that descent technique NE (as did quite a number of fellow competitors on the Elite course that day). It's the closest I've ever come to being an MRT statistic. Fortunately I walked away with just had an array of bruises to show for it and some more valuable experience to guide me in the future. I made a vow to never ever to use that technique again in winter conditions without an ice axe to hand. When it goes wrong it goes wrong very fast and it isn't an experience I recommend!
