Only crazy people ice climb... I think you just need better drugs.

You fell on a 3? Probably need more time on the TR. It's generally recommend to not fall on ice.

Sharpen those screws too and practice firing them in on TR too.

I think if I keep leading at that level it will solve my head problems. My screws were also brand new from mec, super sharp

(This is probably a troll, though)

Good catch.

In this case I recommend OP whip often to get the head game in. 

Ice climbing Rules:

#1: Don't fall.

#2: Don't fall.

#3: Don't hit the ground. 

To disagree with Will Gadd on a pivotal aspect of ice climbing after one season of the discipline and a lead with a couple falls is ridiculous. My mentor told me that if I was not 100% positive I could free solo the route then I had no business leading it. Ice is so much more condition dependent and the objective hazards are far greater than at some sport crag. Please rethink your approach to leading ice before you seriously hurt yourself or someone else. 

Toprope the shit out of stuff and get comfortable moving on all types of ice. Practice effectively placing screws while on TR too. 

Not meaning to sound like a dick. Just please be careful.  

My bad. You're much better than me. Carry on. 

It's not scary at all, just don't fall and you'll be fine.

I think this thread should be censored. 

This is awesome   

This is the kind of shit that makes me avoid this section of mp

Anyone have any real advice????

Seth already covered everything you need to know in regards to your original query.

"Yes, it will [regarding:TR laps]. If you're whipping on WI3 your main issue isnt your lead head. It's that you have absolutely no idea how to climb ice. Get comfortable with your sticks and feet and work out the technique when you aren't sketched out on lead, and the lead head will come."

Classic "I need advice but I already know everything" followed by somewhat random expletive filled meltdown! I predict deletion of account to follow. 

What is a dip ass anyway?
