My so call Disclaimer: Self Arrest is very dangerous! Don't try it if you don't know what you are doing!
Before the big summit day on sunday, our group were doing Self Arrest patrice sat. Unlike the traditional way of patrice self arrest... these folks at ASI wanted us to do self arrest head down face up with crampon... and guess what... I made another hole on my gaiter =(
If you're wearing Crampons in the real thing, you should practise with them.
Need you're legs higher up though to stop yourself from a possible cartwheel motion down the slope caused by the crampons
