Please do Eiger North face! You provide the best climbing content on UA-cam, and I wold really like to see a documentary of one of the Great North Faces.
I have mixed feelings about the new ergonomics. The steeper angle didn't get in the way, but the swing feels awkward. They are very stable, specially in small holds offering a nice feeling of security. They are quite heavy though which result in harder to move them around and sore forearms and shoulders at the end of the day. I think they are good for this type of mixed terrain, but not that good for ice and definitely not for North faces.
When climbing short routes, I don't carry the leashes, but in alpine terrain I always do. Dropping an ice ace there would mean the end of the day, but I could recover the ice axe on the way down. In alpine terrain, dropping an ice axe could mean to be blocked unable to go up or down creating a dangerous situation.
Thank you John, awesome videos.

How do you find the ergonomics over the normal nomics? Looked like the steeper handle got in the way!

@@jonmurua I agree with the awkwardness, that's what I was trying to get across.
When are you coming to Scotland for the mixed climbing jon
When the sun shines over there 😂
Jokes aside, I'd love to come at some point!

Were you already not wearing a mask at the ski centre?
No, the mask is mandatory
