As the slope changes from gentle to moderate,... greater security is gained by holding the axe in the cross-body position(piolet ramasse). The inside hand grips the shaft just above the spike; the outside hand is on the head with the pick pointing forward(the self-belay grasp). The spike is driven into the slope about waist high, with the shaft perpendicular to the slope and approximately horizontal across the climber's waist.  1, record 1, English, - piolet%20ramasse

Le piolet-ramasse [...] est utilisé pour les traversées et les pentes moyennes. La main en amont (côté montagne) tient le bas du manche et appuie fermement le pique sur la glace, tandis que la main en aval (côté vallée) exerce sur la tête du piolet une ferme pression vers le haut. Ce système de double appui garantit un équilibre très sûr.  2, record 1, French, - piolet%2Dramasse

When the angle of ice steepens, and more security than the cross-body technique(piolet ramasse) provides is desirable, the axe is planted in the anchor position(piolet ancre)... : with the outside hand just above the spike, the axe is swung so that the pick is anchored in the ice in front and above the climber's head with the shaft parallel to the slope. The inside hand reaches up and grasps the axe head in the self-arrest position. By pulling down on the anchored axe, the climber steps up to a new in-balance position. A gentle and constant outward pull must be kept on the shaft to set the teeth and keep the axe locked into the ice. The axe is removed by pushing the shaft toward the ice and lifting the pick up and out of the ice.  1, record 2, English, - piolet%20ancre

When the slope becomes too steep to descend facing outward, the climber faces sideways and descends diagonally .... Footwork changes from the duck walk (en canard) to the same flat-foot technique which was used to ascend diagonally. The axe is used in the anchor position (piolet ancre): with the outside arm, the climber swings the axe out in front and plants the pick in the ice, then flat-foots diagonally down below the axe. The shaft rotates as the climber passes below it.  1, record 2, English, - piolet%20ancre

Le piolet-ancre [...] s'utilise en pente raide ou très raide, la lame étant enfoncée dans la glace par un coup de piolet donné en tenant celui-ci du bout du manche.

... an offensive weapon used to clear a path for the ball carrier.  3, record 3, English, - blocking

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The hands must be cupped or closed and kept inside the elbows and not outside the body of either player. Arms may not be extended to push. A blocker may not push, clamp down on, hang on, or encircle an opponent. Players may block an opponent at any time, provided this does not interfere with a pass, a fair catch, a kicker, or a passer and provided it is not too rough. A wide receiver may not be cut down by a block below the knees. A wide receiver may not block an opponent below the waist if he is blocking back toward the ball (crackback block).  2, record 3, English, - blocking

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS

The basic blocks are the cross-body block, in which the body is thrown across the opponent's thighs, and the shoulder block, in which the shoulder does the work. It is permissible to block a player from a position in front of, or to the side of, him, but not use his hands, but the defensive player may use his to ward off or escape the blocker.  3, record 3, English, - blocking
