- From 3th November till 10th December Tanja Schmitt and Matthias Scherer started their ice climbing season in the Canadian Rockies. The film shows impressive pictures from the climbs of three extreme ice lines: "Whiteman Falls" (IV,WI6), "Shooting Star"(IV,WI6), "Rainbow Serpent" (IV,WI6).

I remember climbing Whiteman Falls, and it was letting out some massive booms echoing in its canyon, as we did so. Frightening!
Amazing video, one of the best I have ever watched. What a stellar selection of routes us weekend warriors will never see in person😎
Loving your videos. I'll be getting my first taste of Canadian Rockies ice next weekend, you're getting my Stoke so high!!
Cool! I was always amazed how much steeper the ice appears while on the sharp end compared to belaying below.
Thx for sharing this amazing video with us.
Wow, very nice presentation, love the footage from POV of the leader, makes me feel like I'm right there looking for the next foothold. Incredible conditions for early season, very inspirational. Nice work you guys!!!
The sound is excellent.
🙏🤙
Great video. nice bumping into you guys this year. Can't wait for the video!!!

Yes, I install my ATC backwards for a smoother rap.
I clip the extra biner on the strand I have to pull when I will come to the next belay - like this I can not forget the strand which is to pull.
Schönes Video, macht noch mehr lust auf Winter!
The chockstone at the top of Shooting Star looks massive! I might have to go up there and have a closer look at it one day soon. Way to get out there after the big routes you guys.
wow best ice vid I've seen hands down!
thank you!
mind blowing
great video Thank you !!!!
Muy bueno! Thanks!
amazing!
superb!
Very cool video
WOW AWESOME!!
@Negotea - it's the Black Diamond Torque glove
I clip the biner on the strand I have to pull when I will come to the next belay - like this I can not forget the strand which is to pull - works for multi pitch rock climbing in the same way.
I used the new Batura 2.0 from La Sportiva.
Batura 2.0 worked for me perfect - even with temperatures of -30° Celsius.
sick
Genial!!
Is there anyway you could upload the uncut first person footage, would be very helpful in seeing your tecnique
Obviously I wasn't there, but what's up with those big high steps? I was on cauliflower yesterday and found myself using steps much higher than I wanted to. I'm curious about your technique and looking to up my game.
Ausgezeichnet Vid!
nice!
hello! wonderful video!
I can I ask you something? but wich boot warmer did you use to climb?
thank you soooo much!
Fantastic stuff guys. Amazing locations! One of the best 'climbers-eye-view' videos I've seen.
Quick question...at 11:35 you're clipping a biner between the strands when rapping. What's this for?
(I'm just a rock climber, never done any ice)
What a once in a lifetime experience & not just for you.. So very well played Comrades
Makes it easier to remember which rope to pull.
Just before the 12 minute mark I see that you've extended you're rapel, but have the device installed backwards. Is this just for a smoother rap and so it doesn't bite as much? Also, what was the extra biner you clipped onto the lines above your atc for?
nice garage band music
This was really cool, I've always wanted to get into it but I know it is a huge investment of time and more importantly money. I've also always wondered how you get the equipment back? the carabiners and ice screws you place as you ascend, do you just unscrew them as you descend? If so, isn't that a bit dangerous?
You can drill two intersecting holes in the ice with the screws they place, and thread cord through the holes as an anchor at the top of the climb, so all you have to leave behind is $6 worth of cord and a carabiner. You take out all the other gear on your way down.
Peter Joy Why would you leave behind a carabiner ? No need for that, the cord alone is enough, and only costs $1 at the most. Also, you usually climb with 2 people, and the person seconding takes out the gear on the way up, not down.
+Peter Joy No you don't take out the gear on the way down, in multi-pitch, the second takes the gear on the way up upto the next belay station. And then you either switch leads or give the gear to your first. Then abseil/rappel down via a v-thread (as you said). No need to leave behind a carabiner.
Or you thread your chord through the whole made by two intersecting screw wholes and tap off that...
Or rap it around a pillar. Or leave a screw. What's $60 for a lifetime.of.memories?
Abalatov method of rappeling
epic
Scary ice tower at 5:00
10:00 is this bd impulse glove?
You can get mad and kick someone with those crampons
11:50 I f******g hate this.
