Re: Ice axe *or* crampons?

Following up to Simon Caldwell

You obviously have never stuck a 12 point crampon into the opposite
leg's gaitor by accident then ?

No, I'd learnt to walk without tripping over my legs by the time I was
about 5, so it was a simple matter to apply the same principles to
walking with crampons.

I found it takes a fair bit of relearning, perhaps you ride a
horse a lot?
