Fantastic

Voted 10/10

What a great action shot in amazing setting, easily finds its place among the best glacier shots I've seen!

	Voted 10/10	Yeah, with the impossibly contorted figure, and elongated hat, it looks like Thing 1 from a Dr. Seuss novel.

Looks like there are some tough overhangs to get over.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks a lot for your comment! It really was quite overhanging climb. Actually the last one - snow cornice - was impossible to climb...
