A university teacher looking to break free from a life of routine and a mysterious frozen waterfall that no one knows the whereabouts, spins this story of seemingly futile quests and ultimately transcending climb. This is also an interesting side look into a rarely seen facet of China, a snapshot of a generation growing up in tandem with China’s fascinating transformation over the past few decades.

Leading the life of a climber involves a tremendous amount of sacrifice and hardship, but for team athletes Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson, there's no living without it.
In 1999, on an expedition in Tibet, team alpine climbers Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson lost their good friend and exploration companion, Alex Lowe, to an avalanche that narrowly missed Conrad himself. To preserve Alex's honour, Conrad and Kris establish and send the Nutcracker, a new ice climb route in Hyalite Canyon, Montana.
An ice climbers fantasia, the South Fork Valley located just outside of Cody, Wyoming hosts some of North Americas premiere ice routes. This season the ice has been in rare form showing off some of its most impressive lines.
◢◤Video about Ice Climbing on one of the most beautifull waterfalls in Slovenia - Pericnik.
This project I've wanted to do since I discover my passion for photography. This year winter was finally cold enough that climbing here was again possible. this project is even more special to me, becouse it is made in my home country Slovenia!
Klemen Premerl is one of the World best ice climbers and he was the only choice for that!
Of course this is my subjective list of the most interesting Ice Climbing and Dry-Tooling films on Vimeo.

Alps - conditions for ice climbing
https://www.facebook.com/groups/535668349779087/
This is a forum open for everyone who wants to share information about ice climbing conditions in Alps (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland).
This kind of page on FB works well in Norway (https://www.facebook.com/156612854443049). I hope that its "Alpine edition" will be equally useful and popular in the future.
Share information about ice conditions in the area in which the last tarried with other climbers. It will be a great help to them in planning trips.
