Woke up 7am, made hot water for drinks and potatoes for breakfast, had meeting at nine, went up mountain and practiced self arrest, step kicking, traversing and pigeon hole techniques(different ways of travel/climbing with and without crampons) Hit myself in the face with adze(the axe side of an ice axe) practiced falling and stopping myself, headfirst and on my back. Had lunch, then went on really wild climb over very steep and loose rock to top, then goose stepped down the rocks to camp, took good pictures, had brownie mush and mac and bulgar for supper, laid around for a while, cleaned up,had talk with tent mates about each others performance then had to write evaluation to instructors, tomorrow we get new tent mates, and a re ration of food, went to bed at 10:30pm, also Tom read a story of two ice climbers who didn't get along and one ended up getting hurt really bad.
