Works best if you're a renter.

As an advance to fact that I once pegged my way up our two-story brick home, it occurred to me that a full traverse of a 40ft pantechnicon parked at the local Diner would serve as good training. Aluminum composite panels are quite ice-like, and make a similar scrunching sound when axed! Crampons optional. Though beat it quickly after one lap, and make sure it's not a sleeper.

OK, no one's asked the obvious question: WHY?

Because there's no ice to climb for most of the year?

Hey there,
We'd love to see your gym in Ohio pick up some IceHoldz. The North American Petzl Climbing Team just started training on IceHoldz this month. We're soon shipping to New Zealand's climbing team as well. Let us know if we can answer any questions.

Don Foote had a wall set up at the Cody ice fest a few years ago to demo them and the sticks were fairly realistic. The panels were 4x8 and cost a couple hundred bucks. I can't recall the which company made them, but a quick search or an email to Don at codyice.com should turn it up,

Any idea on durability? I'd hate to spend $200 and have it last a month....

We have been selling IceHoldz for over two years now and no one has asked for a replacement shell. We've also got a piece we take to climbing comps that has been swung into over 300 times and it's still usable.

Hey there,
We'd be happy to put you in touch with our customers using IceHoldz. We've had no complaints and everyone loves the real feeling of ice. The Entre Prises panels are great for children however if you're looking to train, seasoned climbers prefer IceHoldz. The North American Petzl Climbing Team just started training on IceHoldz this month (December 2009). Drop us a line and feel free to chat with us.... You wouldn't climb Everest without training.... IceHoldz gives you what you need in the off season.
