Ice Hunters: Cave of Dreams

Jeff Mercier explores the joys of ice climbing in Chamonix after some time away from the mountains. He’s met by the discovery of a beautiful ice cave, full of imagination and possibility.

“I stumble upon an image recently taken showing the inside of an enormous ice cave. There’s no further information given about its position, but given the surroundings I can instantly guess the glacier it must be hidden in.” - Jeff Mercier

Super duper awesomeness! All three locations offered something different. The last one, snow cave entrance was spectacular. I could only imagine falling into that cold cold water.

I have to be honest, these are the things that wakes me up in the night sweating. Respect to those who do this.

Talk about passion, endurance, skill, technique and love of doing something this has to be one of those things. Awesome footage, one has to be brave and strong to do this type of climbing in particular.

I was a rock and ice climber for many years in the WA State Cascades. Now at 80 years I realize how crazy that was. I think that the man that was called the "Swiss Machine" would have agreed with me.

That was very intense & beautiful.

There's just something about ice climbing. It's almost alien like; it's so beautiful.

[stinkfist]

Amazing!!! I wish I had the physical ability to do anything remotely like that anymore. Shattered my femur, tore my PCL and my knee is trashed, all left side. But I’m alive.

In any case, you have to fight for what you want in life, fear is the brother of death, brave people always have a place in history, people are born and die, but what remains is courage. from Iran
