The Art of Ice Climbing

The Art of Ice Climbing

The Art of Ice Climbing is a different product on our shelf. It is an excellent textbook and professional literature for all lovers of the ice kingdom. However, it is not just a professional tool for ice climbers, but it very clearly shows the development of ice tools and crampons, the main promoters and, above all, the most important climbs in the history of mountaineering.

This way, the ice climber will get a lot of useful information and also become better educated about the history of climbing itself, reading a lot about the legends and first approaches to 8,000-meter peaks, as well as the first attempts at ice climbing.

Climbing techniques

The book will teach you about proper ice climbing technique, how to use your feet and why, how to care for your equipment, and some practical advice. The book was written by Jerome Blanc-Gras and Manu Ibarra, both excellent ice climbers and part of the brilliant team at our supplier Blue Ice .

It is also equipped with practical examples and illustrative cases when accidents happen and we simply overlooked the warnings.

If you are an ice climber at heart, this book is definitely for you. Or you can also give it as a gift to someone who is just becoming an ice climber.
