 Out of the outdoor activities dealing with verticality, ice climbing is the most affected by changes in the environment. Whereas rock climbers have to deal with the weather, ice climbers also need to consider how the ice behaves as temperatures, humidity or the form of climb all change.

An exodus that lapsed into the 1970s, only to rebound again in Texas, on the threshold of the new millennium as a relentless clone of feminism. Until 2004, when the roller derby tribe truly took hold, following its own rules and shouting once again about the forgotten importance of women in the world. This passion leaves a trace of it in some corners of the province, like Alcoy, which is learning to become a pioneer in so many other things as well.
