But do you know that in a glacial environment other equipment is also necessary such as crampons, ropes, ice axe, harness, as well as equipment useful for hauling (lifting system based on the reduction of force that allows you to rescue alone a person from a crevasse)? But above all, are you able to use all this equipment?
