In reply to UKC Articles:
Hi Dave,
the text of your article is a touch confusing, but seems to me generally OK. But with the pictures attached to the article, I think you should rename the article 'How not to rope up on a glacier'.
At the very least, you should add a picture showing the alpinist roped up on a clove hitch (or a Marchard knot, or a figure of 8) on a separate carabiner attached to his harness. As the article is, the alpinist is roped up on the coils, which, to me, is the one thing not to do.
I'd refer to this video from ENSA that shows how to rope up for glacier travel:
If you really want to add a bit of novelty, then you can recommend not to coil up but to keep the extra rope length at the top of the backpack (ready to be pulled) rather than coiled up. This is how most people now use their rope in France and Italy (and the Swiss are catching up) on 'easy' glacier. Indeed the coils are only usefull when you need to adjust regular the length of rope between climbers; i.e. on rock, on steep non-glacier slopes, etc.
Hope these comments help, and that no one will rope up on the coils...
