Ice tower

Vertical thrills

The ice tower is suitable for all abilities:

• - 70° inclines enable beginners to become initiated.
• - Vertical faces for increased difficulty.
• - More experienced climbers can try their hands at dry-tooling (climbing with ice-axes on resin grips) on two walls with reverse inclines.

• - For experts a serious, mixed (ice and dry-tooling), reverse incline of 45°.

The tower is iced-up by means of spraying water on the vertical and sloping faces.On the reverse inclines slush (a mixture of water and snow) has to be applied by hand to the grills covering the structure.

Equipment test (Petzl-charlet, Asolo & lowe alpine).
