The result: the clinics were fully booked, the sponsors were back with the loaned equipment and most of the ice falls were in good conditions.

The atmosphere is always intimate, just like this niche practice within the niche that is already mountaineering in the general sense of the term. Here, there are no big podiums, no speaker, no bibs, no superfluous. Ice climbing is a discipline that does not suffer from artifice. Not really in the air of time. And that&#8217;s just as well.<\/p>\n<p>And for good reason: you have to dare to venture out very early in the morning into the winter cold, to equip yourself warmly, to take along some rather peaky equipment (crampons and ice axes) to then go down into valleys which never see the winter sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And why?
