A few more feet, another couple pins topped, and I was slinging a tiny cedar frozen in the ice. There was one screw below me – the couple I placed all hit rock after about 10cm so I chose one and tied it off! My one pick was beaten already from pounding on the ice below me so ice placements were interesting! My picks would sink, sometimes; the sharp one was fine, but the blunt one bounced out, off, and broke the ice.
