Climbing a string of giant beeds does seem a little contrived, even if they are made of ice.

Hmmm. 'Cool' had an early lead, but now 'Silly' seems to be ahead.

I voted 'silly' because is seems to me to be a game with no relevance to real ice. But that said, it looks like a lot of fun! For added spectator value, they should make the competitors protect those comp route with snargs, while hanging from heel spurs. :lol:

I did a lot of hemming and haughing on this one and finally decided to consider it a completely different sport than ice climbing in the natural sense. That rationalization allowed me to vote “Cool”. Now, for their next competition they should climb the iced up rigging on a crab ship in the North Atlantic in ruff winter wether. Climbing moving ice, now that would be extreme!
