It saves trees and the presentation is amazing, and great images. I’m quite impressed with Black Diamond’s reach-out with their new online catalog. Check it out.
A Panorama from the new Black Diamond online catalog. Hmm..worth the price of admission.
The Late Antoine Montant Speed Riding down the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix. Not something you see every day, and.. not quite what we’re into on a regular basis here at Mountain Spirit, nevertheless, thought it was worth the post..
Sharpen your edges for a quiet backcountry tour down a north face...
Ice bouldering near Chamonix
By D.R. Richards
Oops.
I got some shots of this ice climber practicing on the glacier just near the entrance of the Mont Blanc tunnel in Chamonix, France. It’s a great place to practice with good top-rope sites.
There are more images but these two seemed the most dramatic, especially with the gaping circular crevasse below. It reminds me of the threat of circling the drain.
Where do you start? How do you lower to flat ground? Not to worry, there was a good ice ledge where climbers can tie in. Ykes!
