Icefalls

As we have divided in this winter section, we’ll be able to perform two winter climbing activities, being this one, icefalls climbing, the other we want to offer you. When Autumn ends and makes way to Winter, the streams freeze forming ice structures, changing from the streams noise to the ice silence.

In the Pyrenees we can find perfect ice that will offer us multiple and amazing quality climbs. Almost in all valleys we can find ice routes, even if we will focus in the Aragonese Pyrenees, without forgetting the Mecca of the Pyrenean ice climbing: The Gavarnie cirque.
