The Fang

The Fang

Vail Colorado 1996, At that point of the climb the ice was melting so much I felt like I was in a rain storm, when I got to the top I was soaked from head to the inside of my boots . Gortex was soaked lucky my pile clothing still kept me warm.

Re: Nice shot !

The year was 1996. I got absolutely soaked on this climb. It felt like it was raining I could only look up for a few seconds without getting water in my eyes. It was my second climb done at the Vail amphatheater. That is awonderful place for ice and mixed climbin

Re: Nice shot !

This kicks ass! Doesn't even really look like the top is in on this photo! You are nuts!!! The Fang didn't even come in this year, fell over twice! Hope I can try in next ice season when my skills are a little better and the ice is fatter. Nice shot.

The Fang

What more can be said about the Fang a classic by all standards. and yes the top part was seperated by about 3 to 4 feet. Still one of my favorite climbs any time I climb it.

What kind of shape is it in this year, is it fat? Might be coming by Colorado with a buddy in a few weeks...
