Think that DIY job looks a bit like the Simond Ice Screw Rack, and can imagine that its 3D rigidity might have solved some of my problems, but got the Flutes now and going to try them (possibly on tape slings over the shoulders because the tubing on my Zodiac Gear Sling's really too thick for their pen clip-style attachments). Might also email you re. axes because I'm currently thinking Vipers but haven't absolutely ruled out Quarks and know you've got (or had) both. Hi Toby, and thanks for the link.

"What's the Story" got named because the big sheet next to it is really "Morning Glory" recorded by Noel Williams and partner. Pale Rider is not the correct title or first ascentionist verifiable in the SMC archives. What's the Storey Morning Glory being a song by I can't remember who! Glad you enjoyed it.

If you haven't already try the DIY clippers - http://xray.bmc.uu.se/markh/climbing/iceclip.html and clip them your front gear loop. I've been ice climbing with these weekly for 8 years or so now I think and they are great - occasionally you break zip tie when its -20 or colder, but that's about it. Using a keylock bent gate krab is best but not actually vital. It also means you have two more krabs with you for emergencies. Sounds great fun Pete!
