The modern skills of ice climbing

The modern crampon technique evolved from French and German techniques. Like rock climbing, the pace you take when climbing the ice must be agile and decided to maintain balance and reduce fatigue. The footsteps of the crampons usually apply to slopes with lower angles and grounds that are easy to step in. The forepaws' footwork is steeper than a 45-degree angle, and it is most commonly used on very hard ice fields. In fact, most climbers use these two techniques in combination, and some people call them American skills. Whichever type you use, the most important thing is to use the crampons when you need to be clear. Practicing on low or moderate slopes can help develop your skills, confidence, and make you more agile on steeper slopes.

No matter whether German or French techniques are used, skilled ice climbers will be cautious and careful when they climb the hard rock. When kicking the claws of the crampon onto the ice, be careful and be clear and smooth when moving from one foot to the other. Being bold is a necessary condition for a clever cramping technique. Where you are currently staying and not ignoring it, your mind must be completely focused on the action you have climbed. However, boldness is not blind bravery; it is generated through time and enthusiasm. It is the confidence and skill developed after practicing many times on ice and freezing the ice peaks in the valley. The degree of difficulty has grown more mature.
