Climbing ice is not a trip to go. It requires you to have a certain amount of experience, knowledge, and physical fitness.
Rock Climbing/High Altitude Climbing Experience—Before climbing ice, you should have had rock climbing or high altitude climbing experience:
Through rock climbing you can accumulate the necessary psychological qualities and technical operations; learn to use crampons through high altitude climbing and how to dress in the cold.
Knowledge Reserve - Before you start climbing ice, you need to understand the ice climbing movement. Through books and film and television works, first establish a general impression on the ice-climbing movement.
Exercise - Ice climbing is a sport that almost requires the use of whole body muscles. Before climbing, you can perform targeted strength training for a period of time to strengthen your strength and endurance.
With the above 15% basis, you still need some preparation before you set off, because climbing ice has special requirements for teammates, environmental sites, etc.
Tianshi, geography, people, and success 35%
Like rock climbing, ice climbing needs the cooperation of teammates. Therefore, you should find a reliable teammate before you set off. At the same time, you can choose the right time and place. You are one step closer to 100% success.
Fly your teammates - the first ice climbing experience is the most safe and appropriate.
You can find experienced partners to take you to experience the first ice climbing, so the biggest benefit is that someone has lanyards, protections, and teaching for you.
Selecting the right season – The safety of climbers during ice climbing is closely linked to the quality of ice. Ice climbing is the right time to ensure safety.
The appearance of the icefall does not mean that ice can already be climbed, because the newly formed ice is still unstable. It is necessary to wait for the deep winter season. The ice is already frozen enough to climb the ice. The early spring when the temperature is warming is not suitable for ice climbing. At that time, the icefall may still be there, but the interior has begun to melt.
Ice selection - for the first time ice climbing, it is best to go to a mature managed ice rink instead of looking for icefalls in the deep mountains.
The ice conditions on mature rinks are guaranteed, the lines are clear, and they can be rescued in the event of an accident.
Find your friends and choose the right time and place. Your first ice climbing road has been 35% successful. Next, you need to understand the basic equipment for the initial ice climbing.
Clothing waterproof and warm, successful 55%
Most of the ice climbing season is in cold winter. The environment of the ice wall is also exceptionally cold. It is very necessary to wear appropriate clothing. The clothes you wear should meet the requirements of waterproofing and warmth.
Clothing - The outermost clothing will be in direct contact with the ice wall, so a waterproof jacket is a good choice. While the shell is waterproof, it is also necessary to put on a fleece or cotton garment as a warm under the shell.
Gloves - If you don't wear gloves when you're ice climbing, or wear a pair of non-waterproof gloves, your fingers will be cold and biting and your fingers will be stiff and may not hold the ice.
In the ice climbing process, a pair of waterproof and warm gloves are also necessary. Gloves should not be too thick. They need to keep warm and operate technical equipment.
Clothing on the body is your protection from extreme cold. The first time you climb ice, your feet need a reliable partner.
Put on an Alpine Boot, 65% success
The shoes worn for ice climbing meet the two requirements of waterproof and warm and matching crampons, and a pair of suitable high mountain boots are sufficient. In this way, your success rate has increased to 65%.
Alpine boots have a perfect waterproof function, and hard soles will not bend and deform, making them more suitable for ice climbing. The more important feature of the mountain boots is the crampon slot, which allows you to put on crampons firmly.
The most classic images of ice climbing are the crampons on the feet and the hail in the hands. On smooth ice, crampons and hailstones are necessary equipment for your upward climb.
Ice climbing “weaponâ€, 85% success
You can't climb the smooth ice wall with your hands and feet alone. You can only climb with technical equipment. With the hailstones on your hands and the crampons on your feet to help climb, you are within easy reach of a 100% successful climb.
Selecting a card-type crampon requires frequent ice kicking during ice climbing, so the crampons need to be stable. The requirements for crampons are mainly reflected in the way of wearing and the shape of the anterior teeth.
The stability of crampons during ice climbing is related to safety. In the way of wearing, the crampons (fast-fastening) are more suitable for ice climbing, because this fixing method utilizes the specially designed slot at the tip of the mountain boot and the heel. Can be firmly combined.
Another feature of the crampons that is suitable for ice climbing is the front teeth of the crampons.
The ice climbing cramp is designed to "set the teeth" and resembles the tips of ice axes. The reason for using a set of teeth is that, compared to the flat-toothed crampons, the standing teeth are less likely to cause the ice surface to break and the ice is also more accurate.
Why use “bendâ€ é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• é• , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 。
The angle brought by the bending of the shank makes it easier for the arm muscles to exert force, so it can better complete the hook traction.
The tips of the technical ice axes are specially designed for ice entry. They provide better access to ice and provide a stable point of focus.
The crank can also provide greater clearance for the hand when ice is cut, avoiding the hand when waving into ice.
With the ice climbing the "weapon", you can already feel the charm of climbing ice under the leadership of the dependable teammates. But at the same time, don't forget to do a good job of security.
Security protection, success 100%
With good safety protection, your first ice climbing can truly achieve 100% success.
A climber's activity on the ice can also cause rockfall or icefall. At the same time, if the climber above you accidentally causes the equipment to fall, the falling ice cone may also become a “flip-flopâ€.
Helmet - To deal with the risk of possible falling objects, the best defense is to always wear an ice climbing helmet.
Climbing the helmet is designed to emphasize the protection against falling rocks and falling ice.
Goggles - A variety of crushed ice will be made during the climb. Even a small drop of ice can cause injuries by falling from a height.
Therefore, wearing goggles can protect the eyes from harm.
