Mixed climbing is a type of climbing that involves both rock and ice climbing techniques. Climbers ascend routes that require the use of both ice tools, such as ice axes and special boots with spikes, and traditional rock climbing gear like ropes and cams. Mixed climbing can take place on ice-covered rock faces, where the ice is thin or inconsistent, or in areas where the climber must switch between ice and rock sections during the ascent. It requires a combination of skills, including ice climbing techniques for frozen surfaces and rock climbing techniques for non-frozen parts of the route.
