Ice climbing, a definition
This Travel-Quest category lists ice climbing trips, holidays and multi-day courses, it covers climbing Alpine ice in mountain areas, water ice climbing on frozen water flows, and mixed climbing which involves both ice and rock climbing. Ice climbing is defined as the roped and protected climbing of frozen features like glaciers, icefalls and waterfalls, and the climbing of ice-covered features such as cliffs and rock slabs.
Alpine ice is often just one element of a longer climbing route and can be less technically difficult than water ice climbing. Techniques for ascending Alpine ice have a great deal in common general glacier travel and are also covered in our winter skills section.
