The greater or less danger and difficulty is marked by the inclination of the
wall and the state of hardness of the snow, snow ranging from band to the pure
ice.

The equipment required for the climbing is similar to the rock climbing but has
some differences. Here’s the recommended equipment for climbing iced:

- Boots
- Crampons
- Guetres, garlochas or leggings
- Piolet
- Clothing
- Rope
- Nails
- Stakes and Anchors
- Improvised
- Rock Anchors

In addition to these specific safety equipment for climbing on ice, using other,
as in the following forms of climbing. Tapes and slings, carabiners and
espresso, harness, locking devices, heat sinks and descenders.
Ice climbing techniques

In winter icefall many are beginning to take shape. It is time to develop our
tools and walk the trails of ice practicing ice climbing.

Standard technique of climbing: On walls, waterfalls and vertical tubes,
securing the climber will be almost similar in all types of climbing and
basically is as follows:

Who comes first is putting insurance and passing the rope through the carabiner,
thus is ensured by the second of the expedition from below.

Those who come in behind the first roped, the first insured up from above by the
same rope. The last of the expedition must remove the fixings that may be
recovered for use in another promotion.

Ascension assembly: the rise of assembly is done in cases where the slope of the
wall is weak and there is no ice.

Also applies when ice climbing climb becomes a little easier. Climbers should
continue strung, rising one at a time, separated by at least 5 m, and with the
string collection in one hand.

In the event that a climber falls, the rope is released free of both and the
other climber, the ax should quickly sink to the bottom and pass the rope
through his cross or shaft in order to stop after he slips fall of another
partner. Meanwhile, the falling climber will try to stop with his own ax.
