In reply to Annabel Tall:
Here's a shout out to invite ice climbers to Switzerland to swing tools into frizen water this winter!
If folks are able to travel, I climb ice regularly, and I'm always looking for partners. I know some nice places to find good conditions, and I offer free pick up and drop off from the Basel airport (I live in Basel so this is easy for me).
I have a regular partner from London, and he usually flies out Friday, we climb ice for the weekend, and he flies home Sunday.
I have all the gear we could possibly need, a car, and solid experience. I really love climbing moderate multi pitch ice, grade 3-4, but if you want to climb harder, or do mixed or dry tooling, that's fine too
Keep it is mind of you can travel.
