2003. 240 pp, 100s color photos. Will Gadd, champion ice climber, presents the same techniques and veteran wisdom he imparts to those who attend his annual clinics. These include step-by-step instructions for the swing (ice axe), the kick (footwork), and putting it all together (tracking); how to 'read' ice to select your line and follow it safely; and dry tool techniques for mixed climbing. Training exercises and inspirational stories complete this seminal guide.
