So I am enrolled in a ice climbing course as a extra class, which I am definitely looking forward to, now that school has started. I was curious to see if there is a lot of relation to rock climbing.
I figured I'd pick up some recreational climbing in the climb gym at school with a buddy of mine, going to look at some shoes again in a hour or so. It is easy to observe in a climb gym you dont really get the real life dragging rope, making anchors, multiple pitches, etc. that would be in ice/rock. I figured at the least I gain a some flexibility that's probably in the lacking and bonus conditioning. But is there much in common between the two?
Oh and yes, I own Freedom of the Hills. I read from it time to time.
