A lot of sport/trad rock climbers are becoming attracted to the idea of winter climbing.  Inspired by the massive improvements in kit, technique, grade, quality and destination they set off, spiky things in hand.

That's who this Rockfax volume is aimed at. In it Neil Gresham and Ian Parnell open a window into this brave new world. They offer their experience to guide competant climbers who ware new to ice through the serious stuff, of keeping warm, preparing yourself and your kit properly and moving efficiently. An excellent modern book. Perhaps the first thing you need if you're looking for ice outside your gin and tonic (the second would be a helmet..please).
