I've removed my previous post complaining about Flick-locks. For the record, it appears that if you've put the the Vipers into gear loops on your harness, you have to be careful when taking them out. Twisting them can open the Flick-lock. Just another thing to watch out for!

Modern ice axes are not really intended to be stowed in your harness gear loop. That's a great way to lose an axe. Clip it into an ice clipper/caritool.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
