    As an ice climber, it’s shots like this that keep me warm at night. I believe that in the original magazine pub of this shot, the caption said something about “climbers finding religion”.

    Wow… amazing shot…

    Iceclimbing does take that special kind of gonads.
    Respect.

    @ Xinavera; “finding religion and losing yesterdays dinner”?

    Amazing photo of people doing a really stupid (though I am sure quite thrilling) thing!
