ice climbing season is opened!

Last friday and saturday I have been to The Hague for work. In the Globe there is a big outdoor shop and the climbing gym as well. Special feature is the indoor ice wall - a huge refrigerator produces a 12m ice wall. With a self belaying device you can do a non stop exercise with your own ice axes and crampons. It was great to hear the sound of my ice axes again.
After 1,5 hours and about 30 climbs I totally climbed more than 300m of ice - great exercise and nice preparation for winter climbing.
