What is ice climbing?
Ice climbing is an extreme winter sport quickly gaining popularity in the United States. Ice climbers ascend ice formations such as frozen waterfalls, ice flows on craggy mountain faces and glacial icefalls. Climbers may also look for routes in steep, compact snow, and high mountain ice. While related to rock climbing, ice climbing differs in that climbers need to gauge the variable slope and texture of the ice and choose their gear accordingly. The two main pieces of gear are ice axes and crampons. The climber kicks the crampon into the ice, then swings the axe into the ice above him.

Ice Climbing Gear List
This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but as a starting point for tackling ice climbing as your new winter hobby.

Ice Climbing Axes
The Camp USA XLA 210 Ice Axe chopped weight and raised the bar with the XLA 210. At just 210 grams, the XLA 210 is a contender for the lightest mountaineering axe in the world. The pick, shaft and adze are constructed from the same light and durable 7075 aluminum alloy used in the XLC series crampons. Comes with a lifetime warranty.

Ice Climbing Harnesses
The Petzl Calidris climbing harness is a very comfortable harness for long mountain adventures, but also very versatile due to its adjustability. With doubleback buckles on the waist-belt and mini DoubleBack buckles on the leg loops the Calidris is a good choice for an all year round harness.

Ice Climbing Belay Devices
The Petzl Reverso belay device is for the leader or the second, descender. For use with ropes from 8 mm to 11 mm used single or double. Separation of ropes for easier clipping of alternate running belays and avoiding crossing of the ropes when abseiling. The attachment point for direct attachment to belay (auto-braking belaying of one or more seconds).

Ice Climbing Helmets
The Petzl Ecrin ROC climbing helmet is fitted with 2 adjustment wheels for a perfect fit. Supplied with 2 foam headbands (choose thick or thin foam according to size). Thanks to the numerous holes in the shell, it offers perfect ventilation. When the wind and cold really bite keep your knocker warm.

Ice Climbing Carabiners
The Petzl William Triact carabiner is an wide opening automatic locking system that is well suited for use in belaying. The large size is great for anchoring of several ropes and slings. Even with gloves the William Triact carabiner is easy to use.

Ice Climbing Shoes
The Vasque Super Alpinista is a peak bagging boot for mountaineering that does not require the warmth of a double boot. The carbon fiber insole makes the Super Alpinista lightweight but stiff enough for the demands of ice climbing or mountaineering. The upper boot is made from Exo-Therm Composite Leather with an EVA midsole for comfort and support. The foot bed is insulated so no cold spots come through.

Ice Climbing Crampons
The Black Diamond Sabretooth Pro crampons are the most versatile crampon, excelling in snow, ice and on mixed terrian. The horizontal frontpoints penetrate hard ice, edge well on rock and Serrated teeth for better climbing performance.

Ice Climbing Quickdraws
Whether you¡¯re switching crack systems twelve pitches up or assaulting a snow mushroom, the Black Diamond Neutrino draw is a superlight, all-season performer. Using the Neutrino carabiner and 12cm dogbone you can keep weight to a minimum so if you plan on doing an alpine route or a big waller the Neutrino quickdraw should be part of your rack.

Ice Screws
The Petzl Laser Sonic Ice Screws are a lightning fast ice screw with rotating hanger /crank handle. For optimized penetration into the ice the aggressive teeth bite into the ice with 1 1/2 rotations and polished surface enables easy, smooth placement. The clip-in point retains horizontal play on its axis and the ergonomic grip for the hand during placement is large and easy to hold.
