Blood, sweat but no tears: here come winter

This is a fantastic video. Even if you aren't an ice climber, you should watch it just because it is so ace. I'm never going to be as good as these guys, but I do enough ice climbing to totally identify with those "oh, for fuck sake..." looks...

Big up to the film makers, climbers and Black Diamond for sharing it with everyone. Meanwhile, here in the soggy, dark, south of Finland - it looks like winter might be about to make its presence felt.

Time to get those ice tools out of the shed?
