Photo 3-22. Plunging the shaft, instead of the pick, into the snow may work better for climbing over a lip in soft snow.

Photo 3-23, top left. When climbing over a steep lip, start with a solid overhead swing.

Photo 3-24, top right. Grabbing the head of the ax will give you a firm grip as you move your feet upward.

Photo 3-25 bottom left. From this position, continue moving your feet upward and repeat the sequence or use the self-belay technique to secure your ax for the final moves to climb over the lip.
