Can't Post

well, some one you may know from the Canada Forum, that i'm headed up to Jasper this winter and i'm gonna try me at some ICE....

my question is of what to bring in terms of gear

yes, i already have all the basics: boots (la sportiva Lhotse), gaiters, softeshell, and all the other crap from my trad rack (helmet, harness, atc etc)

i'm renting the crampons and axes

the dude that's teaching me and my partner already has all the stuff needed (screws) but my question is about gear...any random little things that would good to take for a week (or more) long ice climbing trip?

?would it be a benifit to buy an ice screw or two to practice with (if so, what would be good, BD is bites into the ice the best i hear)??ice pitons??lanyards??any Ice n00b stuff??etc..

NOTE::: (((i trad (lots of gear there) as well i have alot of light mountaineering stuff, not to mention my backpacking gear...)))
