I bought this as a Christmas gift. However, I have used them to climb relatively easy slopes. I used them as an arresting tool to stop falls / sliding on icy slopes. Most important it is lite weight and durable. Then it is easy to wield quickly when needed but otherwise lack a means to attach a strap/tether to.
