It’s a very busy route. Looks like I was “drafting” and using old screw placement, but you can hear the screw cutting new threads so it was either smaller diameter screw or the ice was recovering.
I notive you put the ice screw almost at your shoulder level. Isint that more difficult.?? I read they recommend to put screw at waist level, easier and not force to push the screw
Maybe a bit more difficult, like placing them left handed. But if they’re sharp you can place them where you like, depending how hard the climb is. I usually chose screw placements for ice quality and rope management.
Great climb. I like that "crossover" move you made by switching arms on your axes. Is there a name for that? Also is there a second video of you finishing this climb on top? Thanks for sharing.
Liking the new view. A nice upgrade from the iPhone
Sick!
what a climb!!
It almost looks like a video game, like I can control each swing and kick...
Blue “smurf gloves”?
Great to see the entire climb with the drone cam. Can get it to show/follow you from the side?
my smurf cloves arrived yesterday!! showa temres 282
Tom, it's not a drone but probably a MAX 360 GoPro on a stick in his backpack.
3:30 that screw seems to be going in empty..

That’s pretty much the entire climb. A couple moves to the top (which you can see near the end) before walking back to the trees.
I thought on ice, is it recommended to climbing on double or twin rope ??
It depends on the route and area.
