Blue Ice Book "Glaces"

Anyone who has ever used an ice ax or wanted to learn the practice of ice climbing has something to learn from this great book.

Much more than an instruction manual, this book offers an in-depth description of the practice of ice climbing, from alpine ascents to the practice of dry tooling. It contains valuable information on climbing techniques, equipment, history and even ice science.

All ice climbers should pay special attention to “check & go”, an initiative of our authors which offers a method of risk reduction and includes an analysis of different ice structures.

Illustrated with numerous testimonials and photos of international mountaineers who are now a reference in this environment, the Glaces book is a must for all ice climbers of all levels, as well as for guides, instructors and Alpine Clubs.
