Assuming it's reasonably sunny out tomorrow, I might go hiking, but the terrain will be very icy and slippery.


Thx!

2. Beat me to it
Crampons, and an ice axe or two, or just drive nails through the soles of your boots

5. I can build you one!
Or walk you through it if you feel like building it yourself.
Hi Malta Thanks for the hello!

4. A level head.
Don't try anything stupid. Get creative and stay careful.
