Mixed climbing

Alright kiddo, let me tell you about mixed climbing. It's like a big adventure game for grown-ups that involves climbing up rocks, ice, or snow with special tools called ice axes and crampons strapped to your feet.

So, mixed climbing is a type of climbing that combines both rock and ice climbing skills. This means that you might be climbing a rocky mountain with patches of ice or snow on it, or you might be climbing up a frozen waterfall. To do this, climbers attach crampons (which are like sharp spikes that go on your boots) and ice axes to use as tools to help them grip onto and ascend the icy surfaces.

Sometimes mixed climbing can be really challenging because the ice or snow that you’re climbing on can be unpredictable and change quickly. So, the climbers need to be really careful and choose the right tools and techniques to make it to the top without falling.

In summary, mixed climbing is a type of climbing that involves both rock and ice climbing skills which uses special tools to navigate icy surfaces and requires careful planning and preparation to stay safe and reach the top!
