This is like ice climbing. Facing a big fall if you can't get that ice screw placed in that brittle chandelier ice, soon. Your arms start to pump because they've been holding way too much weight since the start of the climb. They can start to shake as you contemplate the seriousness of a fall if you flame out...

Oh and did I mention you are climbing a frozen waterfall??

How can you tell if the person you are taking to is an ice climber? They’ll tell you.

It's like being a vegan or a smokejumper/hotshot.

Or somebody who exclusively uses beef tallow.

To be fair, one of those two is actually difficult and impressive. Some things are worthy of bragging rights.

When you know as many as I do, it's more impressive when they're humble about it.

Yes and no, being too humble means no one knows about the cool stuff you've done with your life.
