Forgot to send the video to you😬 great lead!!

Glad it see that you have some nice ice over there. Greetings from Innsbruck 😉

Well done! Watching this reminds me of my ice climbing course this year. Such an awesome and beautiful sport, but oh man does it suck all of your energy out of you.

Wonderful, subbed

Thanks for the sub!

At my best I've led WI III. Scary!

I wonder if you could test the river ice thickness with an ice screw?

Awesome ..... have you climbed with ergonomics before , if so how do you find them compared to the X dreams

This is all word of mouth and not tested but I think the X-dreams have a little more of a natural swing. 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I’m sure they are both the same when it comes to steep ice I’m sure they are both equally amazing

4:50 that's how I litterally cut my rope in two parts ;-)

Dude no kidding. Looking at the footage I couldn’t believe it lol

Nice. How cold do you find you can climb in the showas??

I’ve been fine in -10/-15 but I naturally run warm.

Feel like a noob asking this but is it normal to run 2 ropes on technicals? Why do you do it?

Don’t feel like a noob. Good question. 2 main pluses for a double/twin rope set up. If the route is wandering you can keep on rope on the right and one on the left. (if you watch the video you can see red in clipped to the right screw and blue the left) Also you can tie both together when rappelling and get a full 70 m rappel.

@@alpinegremlin4408 Ah I see! Great response thank you! I've only ever done a single rope but that's a great idea I'll have to try! Thank you! 🙌🏼

Wondering what gloves you’re using?

They look like the same fishing gloves I use, SHOWA TEMRES 282-02. They are great.
