[QUOTE="J-see, post: 404206, member: 31330"] I've always been climbing rock (not mountains) and assumed that to be more difficult than ice since they use loads or material while climbing. That illusion was shattered within five minutes when I started to climb my first frozen waterfall in France. I've never been sweating that much during severe minus temperatures and I've also never felt as uncomfortable during climbing as that first time. When you've never tried it, you think those axes and crampons are firmly attaching themselves to the ice but in reality it is often scary how little of them is holding your whole weight. It was nice hobby and not only for the climbing. The landscape and views were phenomenal too. No tourist pollution in those areas. [/QUOTE]
