Ice climbing is a magical and ephemeral activity that propels us into the austerity of winter. Whether you are taking your first steps in crampons or want to become more autonomous, we will find a route that suits you!
What is ice climbing?
It is the art of climbing a frozen waterfall with crampons and ice axes while being secured by a rope for safety. Initially, you climb using a top rope, learning how to use the specific equipment.
Ice climbing is even more dependent on conditions than other mountain activities. Depending on the project, you need to be flexible to find the best window of opportunity.
