Your equipment for the ice

Ice climbing is a mixture of technique and endurance. You need special ice climbing equipment such as crampons, ice picks and ice screws to find a secure grip on the ice and master demanding routes. In Switzerland, you can explore frozen waterfalls (icefall climbing) as well as mixed routes with rock and ice passages.

• Ice picks accompany you reliably into the steep ice. With sharp points and ergonomic handles, they offer you a secure grip.
• Crampons whether with two front points or as mono points– transform your feet into claws that dig into the ice. Petzl crampons are particularly customisable.
• Ice screws serve as anchor points and prevent you from falling.
