Using An I Picket:
Accurate Assessment Of Snow Conditions And Their Potential For Change During The Day/Night Is Critical In Determining Correct Picket Placement. In Hard Packed Snow Or Ice, Place The Picket As A Stake, Driving The Pointed End Into The Snow. Angle The Picket (Approx. 15 ) Back From The Direction Of Pull And Clip A Carabiner Into The Hole Closest To The Surface Of The Snow. In Softer Snow And Warming Conditions, Bury The Picket As A Deadman. Place The I Picket Horizontally And Perpendicular To The Direction Of Pull, Clip Into The Center Hole And Dig A Slot In The Snow So That The Runner/Rope Will Be Pulled In As Direct A Line As Possible.
