Did not know Ice Climbing was a thing. You learn something new every day:)

It's good, too!

 

No bouldering in ice climbing, sadly.

That just has to do with the nature of bouldering. For the most part climbers are working with smaller climbing faces, and the movements are very physical and technical in nature. I just don’t think that type of climbing would translate well to ice climbing.

I agree, it would be completely impractical.
