In the fourth instalment of our new ice climbing series on Climbing Daily, we talk to mountain guide Isabelle Santoire, who goes through some slightly more advanced placement technique for ice tools, and efficiency when climbing.

Check back next week for part five, when we’ll be taking a more in-depth look at ice climbing technique and anchor building.

Also on today's show, we bring this week's product of the week, the Mad Rock Flash 2.0 climbing shoe. Coupled with the Black Diamond Momentum harness for €105, this is the ultimate starter pack. Find out more here.
