Just found this gem from the past: youtube.com/watch?v=DCVcyKeULAg&

Why did it never catch on?

In reply to SenzuBean:

Doubtless cavers used ice climbing techniques long ago although much of it would have been descents involving electron ladders etc. For instance I believe the sea diver Cousteau explored ice caves systems in the Gavarnie area of the Pyrenees.
Good point though....quality ice climbing throughout the year in predictable conditions with no precipitation!
