Back-tie anchors. Many times a questionable anchor can be reinforced into what would be considered a bombproof anchor... one way this can be done is through a back-tie. [It is] typically done by using a wrap 3 pull 2 technique on both the primary and secondary anchors and [by connecting] them by using a 3 : 1 MA [mechanical advantage](non working and very inefficient MA using carabiners).  2, record 2, English, - back%2Dtie%20anchor

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 3, 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 3, English, - piolet%20ancre
