Combining rock, snow, and ice climbing with hiking and sometimes camping, and it is understandable why it is such a timeless sport. Even the most attentive adult can find that they have wandered off the beaten trail, and finding your way back can be more difficult than you anticipate.
Beginners are advised to choose camping locations closer to home so that is easier to fall back in case they face any problems. There are definite differences in the equipment used for ice climbing. No matter what style of climbing you try, you are looking at a high calorie workout.
Be careful about not eating too much salty foods when doing heavy hiking in high heat or desert areas though, because you can become dehydrated more quickly. To start, you can get by with basic hiking equipment such as rations, tents and sleeping bags. Ice climbing utilizes many of the same techniques as traditional climbing but with some different equipment.
Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves. So always be prepared and try to get into shape before you take on to big of a trail.
