Combining the skills of ice climbing and rock climbing, mixed
climbing-or M-climbing-allows for travel over all types of terrain,
under any condition. Though mixed climbing has always been an
essential part of mountaineering, the focus of this challenging
sport has shifted from the means of achieving a summit to what is
essentially the wintertime equivalent of sport climbing-with
bolted, often overhanging, ice and rock routes being climbed using
leashless tools, employing acrobatic and athletic moves.
Mixed climber, alpinist, and author Sean Isaac is at the forefront
of this new movement. He has established more than sixty new ice
and mixed routes and pioneered alpine mixed routes to summits
around the world. Mixed Climbing is the complete manual for
learning the newest techniques in the most rapidly evolving type of
climbing today. Everything you need to know is here, from
recommendations on equipment to complete instruction in all the
disciplines of mixed climbing, including advanced ice technique,
drytooling, moving over mixed rock and ice, and advanced mixed
climbing techniques. Also included are training exercises to get
you into condition for the specific rigors of this specialized
sport.
