Why does ice climbing have to be "used" for anything? I started ice climbing this fall in Alaska and go out every weekend now. I enjoy being outside, in the wilderness. Spending time with close friends. I do it because I like it, not as a form of thrill seeking or to use the gear I bought. I bought the gear so I could go out and do it. I think that parks should not discourage ice climbing, but should encourage people to climb responsibly and safely.
Actually although stepping on a rope with crampons should be avoided, a study has been done and it showed that this will not compromise the integrity of the rope. You might get some wear on the sheath but you're not going to damage the core.
Although this video takes place in France, there is a lot of Ice Climbing that goes on in nation/state parks and wilderness areas. people do this as a form of thrill seeking as well as to us the gear they get. they use it to teach people different ways to love and enjoy the wilderness as well. what else can ice climbing be used for? should parks encourage or discourage it?
