Steve and his crew prepare for winter backcountry ice climbing expeditions in Newfoundland by fabricating custom gear and conducting trail reconnaissance. Using a Sailrite sewing machine, Steve constructs durable sled bags (pulks) designed to haul climbing equipment, incorporating webbing reinforcements, daisy chains, and zipper flaps to protect against UV exposure.4:55 The crew also tests Silveretta bindings, which allow mountaineering boots to clip directly into skis, eliminating the need to change footwear during approaches.2:32 During a winter storm, a gust of wind heels the boat, causing a new ski to slide overboard and sink 10 feet to the harbor floor.16:30 The crew recovers the ski using a small tender, Victoria, and immediately rinses the gear with fresh water to prevent corrosion on the steel edges and binding components.19:06 Steve and crew member Carter scout the initial miles of a trail along the Fox River leading toward the Lewis Hills, noting that while ice conditions remain too warm for climbing, the route provides a viable path for future treks.23:14
