>>1887041Got my feet wet (in the quite literal sense) with mountaineering over this weekend. Been doing a bunch of hikes but nothing I would really consider actual mountaineering so far and this was my first experience. So I have a question regarding going over snow.
How do I avoid sinking into the snow ? Is there a technique, do you guys carry snowboots up there (wouldnt they make it slippery if you go along a slope ?). Or so you just use gaitors and jsut accept that you will be in the snow up until your knees or higher every couple of steps ?
