a frozen fall in the valley Avers. This fall is known for climbers.... there were 4 rope teams on their work.......
and with this one..... i wish all Shadowness-friends a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
May your path be as impressive, as adventurous, fulfilling and save as the path of these ice climbers this morning !!!!!!!

Laughing - it would be for me as well, though I have never seen that much ice - except when I flew across Canada to Vancouver. We flew over an island somewhere that seemed to be all ice & rock. I woke out of a sleep so don't know where we were. It was amazing though.

aww.... you were in Vancouver.... its a fantastic City..... i was there once too..... i think it is very comfortable to live over there.....
Feb 14th Replyyes, here in Switzerland we have ice.... not as much as when i was a child, because of the global warming.... but still.... there are quite a few glaciers in our mountains.... huge ones....

It must e amazing to see so much ice! And heartbreaking to see it disappearing. Here, we just lose rain and winter - though I hate the hot temps andthe loss of so much, it is not so visible a loss as you would be experiencing.

I loved snow & ice climbing when I was a lot younger
Jan 12th Reply Respect & Responsibilitybarfischer
hehee..... i also climbed glaciers when i was young......
Jan 13th Replystill a lot in the mountains, but no more dangerous things...... and generally i prefer the coasts.... especially rocky coasts ..... just thought about walking around the cornish coastline.... there is a path all along the sea...... we did some parts.... around Lizard peninsula..... and Lands End peninsula .. Botallak..... great scenery......

The South West Coastal Path is great. Walked some of it in my younger years
Jan 13th Reply Respect & ResponsibilityHaven't been down to The Lizard for years, must change that
barfischer
Lizard is lovely.... it is silent.... not as touristic as other places....love its character.....

That looks like an amazing climb! It's exhilarating and sometimes downright scary when you think about what we humans do for fun, eh?
Nice shot!

I'm not at this level of expertise yet but I'm working on it. Being out in the mountains is a lot of fun....for me at least!
