Using an Ice Axe - Video

There seems to be more and more video of interest to hillwalkers appearing on You Tube. The magazine Country Life now has a section. Its readers must be a fit bunch as the videos are mostly get fit advice!
There is also an excellent video demonstrating how to do an ice axe arrest. It's beeen reproduced by permission from the British Mountaineering Council's 'Winter Essentials' DVD, so it's authoritative. The code allowing people like myself to embed it in their blog is also made available. So if you think you might still get an opportunity to get out in winter conditions it's worth having a look (go on, even if you're experienced it's always worth reminding yourself of best practice).
