“started to slide down an icy mountain and had to pull their ice picks out” — Alive and toed was regret well spent, IMO! Ages ago I spoke with a roofer who told me of a time he was on a steep two story roof and started to slide on some loose shingles. He quickly took our his straight claw hammer to slam it down into the plywood underneath. As he pounded the roof repeatedly while skidding to the edge he recalled having borrowed another guy’s curved claw hammer that day. He fell but lived to tell the tale!
