Nope... didn't interpret it either way presented, which are other, valid
potential interpretations, and good examples of why the icepick is a poor
choice.
I interpret the image of the icepick as a tool used to establish handholds
in an otherwise unscalable wall of ice, eventually allowing one to overcome
the icy obstable; you get access to areas you otherwise wouldn't be able to
access without the tool.
Given that this is a firewall, it struck me as odd to present an image of a
tool used to punch holes in wall facings which facilitate the ability to
ultimately get past them.
