Le débruteur doit reconnaître à quelle sorte de glace il est confronté. La principale est celle qui présente une amorce de clivage et ressemble à la fente qu'on observe dans un verre fêlé. La ligne en est droite. Cette glace est la plus dangereuse car, au moindre choc, on risque de voir la déchirure se prolonger dans le sens du clivage ou bien voir la pierre, une fois terminée, se séparer en deux parties. 5, record 1, French, - glace
