As a rock climber, I can't imagine how someone can trust Ice so much. I sometimes don't even trust rock that's been there for millenia..

[@donalddarko3676]

At least if the ice is good you are not very likely to fall. The rock can be great and you'll still fall.

[@jopvandam6820]

@@donalddarko3676 I’m completely new to climbing and I want to learn. Why is it less likely you will fall while ice climbing? Is it easier/less exhausting to hold your bodyweight using ice tools? I’m curious.

[@BenihanaX]

@@jopvandam6820 The easiest holds to hold onto in rock climbing are "jugs" (they're shaped like a handle), and ice tools have handles. Very occasionally you might come across a hold in mixed climbing (ice and rock on the same route) that requires a hand instead of a tool, but it probably won't be the crux (most difficult part of the route). Also, falling during roped ice climbing is far more dangerous because you have pointy things everywhere (snagging a crampon and breaking an ankle is not unheard of), and you place ice screws less frequently than trad gear. So ice climbers tend to climb closer to their comfort zone to mitigate that risk.

but you know how they trust it! the same way we say we trust it! the same oh fuck I hope this holds.

[@Teranova]

That is for sure.

[@Teranova]

Ice is safer then you think and you can stand up straight on it taking a lot of pressure from the arms to the legs.

[@mathieuberquet3988]

Superbe vidéo ! C’est très raide mais les perspectives trichent un peu en accentuant la pente qui paraît verticale, ce qu’elle n’est pas.

[@higherlifts420]

Must be safe to say he didn't make it to the top if the video ends. I like how there was already foot prints to to the wall

[@TheGoonSquadd]

It’s probably a known route

[@knoz5688]

They usually climb it with rope 1st to chart there route, than go back and free climb

[@TheGoonSquadd]

@@knoz5688 oh yeah def what this guy said. Plus to film they set it up and get someone up there then free climb it.

[@noiseforthealgorithm4668]
