Personally, I prefer outdoor climbing without ice. It's not as cold. I still have a pair of ice axes, though, just in case.

In fact, several bridges around town are bolted and the routes are all highly illegal. Jeffk, the first rule of ice club is don't talk about ice club. We have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy about a lot of the ice climbs in the city. Let's just say no one climbs anywhere in the city where it might now be allowed and if you see someone doing it just pretend you didn't. Carry on. When Lifetime puts up some ice climbs maybe I'll go there. Rat, the little metal rings are actually already in the Stone Arch as a route was bolted on the bridge around twenty years ago.

And, of course, if it were opened as an "official" climbing spot, they could require safety equipment such as belaying devices.
