Jeff Mercier explores the joys of ice climbing in Chamonix after some time away from the mountains. He’s met by the discovery of a beautiful ice cave, full of imagination and possibility.
“I stumble upon an image recently taken showing the inside of an enormous ice cave. There’s no further information given about its position, but given the surroundings I can instantly guess the glacier it must be hidden in.” - Jeff Mercier

@richardernsberger5692 2 года назад

Wow--amazing. Impressed by the guts of these guys. I'd think that, using those ice picks constantly, it would be very easy for your hands to start cramping up--and also very easy to lose the handle on the pick and watch it tumble into the void. And then what? Are the picks tethered to the climber's jacket or belt?

@BlackPantherClimbing Год назад

That's what I always wonder. I imagine it's a preference, like some people attach them to their wrists, and others (like the guy in this video) don't bother attaching them, because they are confident that they won't drop their pick

@skiclimbeer 2 года назад

abalakov

@matejeberle364 2 года назад

Abalakov only makes sense to me if the follower would have picked it all up, which would have been quite challenging given the overhanging nature of the route. At the same time, I don't know how much I'd want to belay from only 2 ice screws at the end when the follower would be falling into it as well. Another option would be that there would be a lot of abalaks, and that again doesn't seem to me very environmentally ok.

@sqreon9401 2 года назад

Probably just reverse aided it, looked like they put the screws in ground-up aiding the route so just have to do the reverse

I would never have a prussik on the rope when rappelling next to flowing water. There have been reported cases of people drowning under waterfalls because their prusik/friction hitch locked up on the rope and they got sucked into the waterfall.
