CONT: Ice climbing ... is the activity of ascending inclined ice formations. Usually, though, ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as icefalls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water. Ice climbing is broadly divided into two spheres, alpine ice and water ice. Alpine ice is found in a mountain environment, [whereas] water ice is usually found on a cliff or other outcropping beneath water flows.
CONT: The best ice climbing in the world can be found in the Canadian Rockies. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]
