Equipment bought (crampons, ice axe, pants), helmet from before, gaiters.
Bargain and satisfied , now off to the snow when conditions are right.

@LjubiteljGora
...
now books in hand, theory, reading what more experienced have written based on experience . . . then it'd be smart, some course for moving in mountains in winter conditions . . . then from lower higher, from moderately difficult to more demanding . . .
What about the triplet (beacon, probe, shovel)? that's not just touring ski gear . . .
In mountains observe others, what they do. Prick up ears, what they talk about. Ask if you think something needs asking. Be curious!
I learned a lot, found out by "spying" what others do. Asked why and what for they do something . . . then tried myself . . . and read something . . .
And slowly, tour by tour, experience piled up, tours became more demanding . . .
Good luck and smartly

avalanche triplet is a MUST! We recommend it to everyone...

@turbo thanks for tips, Kibuba organizes something, I'll inquire. On those tours I really have no business going solo.

...before I wrote Trojček, I also wrote course of movement in mountains in winter conditions

@turbo yeah, sure, it's not superfluous anyway, to say it three times

The equipment will come in handy even in summer time, actually it's this equipment that's minimal for visiting mountains on difficult paths.

Yeah, that guy only roughly presents the use of the ice axe. He forgot to present that the step is made by cutting first with the pick of the ice axe vertically and horizontally, then the adze comes into play to remove the snow cut-out. And stopping with boots I haven't seen anywhere as a priority during a slip. There it's mostly about loading the upper body on the ice axe pick to anchor it as much as possible in the snow. If we transfer force with boots from below, less remains for the upper part and ice axe. With feet during a slip we only brake as much as the excess deviation of force transfer to the feet. In the YouTube case we also risk that with greater force transfer from the feet, the terrain (frozen parts, clumps) can catapult us out of the sliding slope itself.

@viharnik
Now I've got the right size, changed without problems. For me it can wait there in the closet just fine with crampons, if I go to Jalovec again (in summer), over the notch I'll need both.

Well, I was lucky to meet this NG group at Kredarica and the guy among them taught us well about burning calories. Well I hope their crampons test down there under Kredarica went well too
Meeting the "Villain" himself I would also be very happy, since on this forum he is surely the greatest treasure trove of experiences and information

Hi, @pohodni, the crampons test went well, the exercise succeeded, it was , nice, nice, now the ice axe test awaits us, then maybe we'll be ready for the summit we really want to reach even in winter conditions.
Our friend burned a bunch of calories again on the way down (he carried quite a lot, mostly my gear - women's, what can we do , nothing strange, right ),
Anyway, I don't know you from this nickname, but up there was a bunch of nice boys and of course girls too, I greet everyone, and also Janez and Rad, they are so cool and friendly, they don't read the forum because they don't have the chance (well, nowadays everything is possible), but if someone goes up, let them bring greetings)

I really congratulate the "roses" for testing the equipment, the girl is an example to follow.

Well, if a girl with crampons on her feet and poles in her hands is an example, then only God can help this forum...

Crampons and poles don't go together and don't use them in this combination, proper use is ice axe and helmet or ice axe, crampons and helmet.

| klinchy1. 12. 2011 12:56:11 |
if the terrain is less steep and "ornk" icy I see no reason to use ice axes, since with poles you have much more support than...
