Ice climbing is an activity you will fall in love with from the very first try. The intense physical effort, adrenaline, and cold, sparkling ice will give you a unique experience.Ice climbing, as the term suggests, involves ascending an inclined ice formation. This usually involves climbing using specific technical equipment and special protection on formations such as frozen waterfalls, rocks, and rocky faces covered with ice from water runoff.For those who want to try ice climbing for the first time, but also for those who want to try it again, we will organize an outing.Ice climbing obviously involves the use of special equipment specific to this type of activity.While any mountain boots would suffice on horizontal ice surfaces, technical plastic or leather boots are used for ice climbing.These must be compatible with crampons and rigid enough to support the climber's weight and ankles.

Ice crampons have much longer and more aggressive front teeth than those used for trekking, and ice axes, unlike classic ones, have a very aggressive blade and a curved handle to prevent injury to the hand when striking the ice.

Possible areas: Rachitele, Bicaz Gorges, Fagaras Mountains (Balea), Bucegi, Postavaru, or Rodnei – depending on ice formation and participants' skill level.

Level: requires previous experience in mountaineering or climbing.

Equipment: technical ice axes, crampons, harness, helmet, rigid boots (can be rented on request).

The package includes: UIAGM mountain guide, ropes, protection and anchors.
