Ice climbing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Ice Climbing , as the term indicates, is the activity of ascending inclined ice formations. Usually, though, ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as icefalls , frozen waterfalls , and cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water. Ice climbing is broadly divided into two spheres, alpine ice and water ice. Alpine ice is found in a mountain environment, usually requires an approach to reach, and is often climbed in an attempt to summit a mountain. Water ice is usually found on a cliff or other outcropping beneath water flows. Alpine ice is frozen precipitation where as water ice is a frozen liquid flow of water. Both types of ice vary greatly in consistency according to weather conditions. Ice can be soft, hard, brittle or tough Contents Ice Climbing Techniques Protecting Ice Ice Climbing Grades - Canadian Rockies Climbing clubs ... edit Ice Climbing Techniques Top-roping A climber chooses equipment according to the slope and texture of the ice.

On short, low angled slopes, one can use an ice axe to chop steps. For longer and steeper slopes or

After a slow start, and an unusually warm November, , December and January brought almost 5 weeks of cold, snow, cloudy days and more snow.

See you soon!! Located in the Uncompahgre Gorge in Ouray, Colorado, the Ouray Ice Park was opened in 1995 as the world's first park devoted exclusively to the sport of ice climbing. Climbing in the park is free. A small band of volunteers developed the Park utilizing a unique set of assets found perhaps only in Ouray. An unprecedented number of climbers visiting from around the world led to the formation of a nonprofit corporation to manage the Park. Over the past 14 years the park has grown to become the largest ice climbing park in the world. Thanks to several large donations from local private donors, the park now has reliable plumbing, a welcome center, over 200 routes and employs 5 part-time local persons.

"We're all fucked. It helps to remember that." George Carlin The iceclimb.com site offers information on iceclimbs and iceclimbing in North American regions (I know that Mexico and Canada haven't been added yet). There are ice festivals during the season which offer entertainment, gear and technique demonstrations, and the chance to cluster with other climbers. For those thinking about getting started , the ice festivals provide a chance to play on ice. Why? I gathered the information found on this website for my own selfish reasons: I wanted to roadtrip and climb more ice. Then I decided to share that information. I hope these pages provide enough data to get you on a great road trip, or up to more local ice. Your comments and questions are almost always welcome (send them to will at iceclimb dot com).

Ice Climbing LOST ICE TOOL - REWARD On October 1, my partner dropped (!) his ice tool when we were just below the chockstone on the North (Moynier) Couloir of Mt. Thompson in the Sierra Nevada. He's sentimentally attached to it. The axe is FKW Stubai, with tubular adze. The adze is taped up with climbers tape to deaden the sound. It is purple in color, 50 cm about 15 years old with SIMOND (?) "TRACK UP" sling. The pick is Stubai FKW 150 (he believes) which is precursor to present day banana picks. He will pay $40 as a reward if found. It is my belief that it is about sixty feet above the bergschrund on the right side, resting on a minor debris ledge in the snow/ice. This is only a guess based on what I saw from a distance as we descended. We could not consider the time and energy to recover it. Please contact me if found. THANKS for your help.
