Welcome to the new Ice Section
This new Ice Climbing section is part of the new content we have been working on for you at CC.com. We'll have all things ice climbing here, including (but not limited to) an Ice Climbing Trip Report reader if you prefer to read TRs without the comments other people leave, ice climbing pictures pulled from the CC.com gallery, as well as feature articles written written by experienced ice climbers.
We're kicking things off with a great article written by your very own AlpineDave, especially written for those just getting into ice climbing.
Check it out, even if you're an experienced ice climber you might pick up a tip or two (such as how to sharpen your ice screws at home, among other things). We'll be adding articles and other content over time, so don't forget to check back in from time to time.

Your safety is entirely your responsibility and it is up to you to take what you read here and use it safely and discretionarily.
