About
us
Ice
Angels is the
little sister of
Icicle Mountaineering (established in 2000), where I also work running the Chamonix
office. As with all good ideas this was born on the
hill,
in the
Leschaux hut beneath the
mighty
north face of the Grandes Jorasses, to be precise! It was eary winter, and there
was lots of snow. I had just returned from a route on the Petite Jorasses,
with a friend, and upon reaching the remote hut we found a couple of French
teams. Over dinner we all chatted, and one of the French
climbers remarked that he had never seen a woman at the hut
in winter. Whilst watching the stars and the belt of Orion come out over the Jorasses,
I thought about what he had said, and realised how much women are losing out,
by not feeling comfortable accessing the mountains. And
so Ice Angels was born, not for any anti-male or pro feminist reasons, but simply
to enable more women to enjoy the mountains, who would prefer to be in the company
of other women climbing partners. |

Why
Ice Angels? Well, I admit I have done my fair share of snow angels (usually after
a couple of drinks), and I like ice climbing, so there you go! Read the section
below for how we operate Ice Angels courses. |
