camping catalunya

While it is more challenging than other forms of climbing, ice climbing can be the most rewarding and exhilarating. Of course a camping trip can be an extremely enjoyable and special experience provided you are well prepared and are armed with all the camping gear necessities to see you through till you return home.

I like an occasional break from the madness of the city, and like to go out for a camping or hiking trip. One of the reasons many people starting getting into the great outdoors is to get some physical activity. Environment can range from freezing to sweltering hot, even in the same day, as the altitude and weather changes.

Whenever the surface you are climbing on is frozen, you need to dress to prevent frostbite. If you choose to use a lantern, you do not have to keep working to keep it on like a bonfire. Perhaps the biggest thing you need to accept is you need to climb with others that are experienced.

If you re a climber, you should give ice climbing a try for a true adrenaline rush. Find an experienced ice climber and spend a day with them.
