Mixed climbing - Wikipedia Mixed climbing is a combination of ice climbing and rock climbing generally using ice climbing equipment such as crampons and ice tools. Dry- tooling is mixed climbing's most specialized skill and has since evolved into a "sport" unto itself. The terrain that is climbed on is diverse and consists of rock, turf, snow, and ice in varying amounts. Such terrain is typically encountered in the winter season or on high icy mountains. Grading of mixed terrain climbs roughly follows the WI rating system with respect to its physical and technical demands. Comparing these is rough and only gives an idea of Ice and Mixed Climbing: Modern Technique relative difficulty; the reason different systems exist in the first place is because it's difficult to compare grades between climbing media. Climbers participating in mixed climbing use techniques from ice climbing and rock climbing. The nature of the mixed terrain and the demands that it places on climbers however have also led to the development of specialist skills, most notably dry tooling. A climber chooses their equipment based on the exact conditions and terrain that will be encountered as well as their climbing style and personal preferences. Mixed terrain climbing equipment typically includes both rock and ice climbing equipment. Specialist equipment has also been developed. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
