I saw a pair of what I think might be those on ebay. They were "C" shaped bars, looking like log rollers.

It was only after struggling with a "flip line" that wouldn't flip, and that I had to unclip and reposition around obstructions, that I thought there must be an easier, safer way.

Now, I'm not claiming that Ice axes will do this, just that I'm going to try them out.
