Please do not glissade with crampons on! Three men on their descent together came scarily close to my group and others while sliding down with crampons still on. This isn’t only dangerous to others (because of potential impact and sharp metal), but is incredibly dangerous for the glissader as well (ACL tears, broken ankles, lacerations, etc.)
I love how on Mt. Adams there are signs at the start of the South Climb warning people about the dangers of doing this. I wish MSH had the same ones! Here’s some info to review on staying in control while glissading, proper ice axe position, etc
