Beschreibung

It examines the unique demands of the sport, such as the need for specialized gear like ice axes and crampons designed to grip the ice, alongside the constant threat posed by extreme cold. One intriguing aspect is the necessity of understanding ice structure, from brittle formations to solid glacial ice, which dictates climbing strategies.

 
The book emphasizes risk management, particularly concerning environmental hazards like hypothermia and frostbite. It advises on appropriate clothing and nutritional strategies to combat the cold, highlighting the critical balance between physical exertion and safety.

Through a practical and instructional approach, "Ice Climbing" guides readers from basic skills to advanced techniques. Each chapter builds upon previous knowledge, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to navigate the vertical world of ice. This book uniquely combines technical expertise with real-world examples, making it valuable for beginners and experienced climbers alike.

    In national treasure Dame Kelly Holmes’ most personal book yet, she tells the true story behind her extraordinary life from army recruit to Olympic hero and much-loved TV personality. 
     
    Last year, Dame Kelly came out publicly as being gay and revealed that for the first 52 years of her life she’d been living a LIFE OF FEAR. Now in a heart-rending and inspirational new memoir she tells of her journey from hiding her sexuality as a young soldier at a time when being gay in the military was illegal, to her fears of being outed as she stood on the podium at the Athens Olympics, the games which catapulted her to fame as a double-gold medallist. 
     
    Dame Kelly tells how she has managed to find happiness and inner peace as she has opened herself to a world where she’s finally free to be herself, and proud. In the last year she has become an unofficial ambassador for the LGBT community and has become one of the best- loved faces of daytime TV, joining the regular panel of ITV’s Loose Women. 
     
    This honest memoir is a tale of self-discovery, overcoming struggles and learning to be true to yourself.
