Love the video!. But who ever in charge of Sound Recording in the interview... oh man....

[@virob9561]

Brilliant ambience was produced at the start with the dialogue, but the music did ruin the video…

I dont really See the Challenge at this route..

[@daver4331]

Finding snow and ice in condition - an increasing rarity ;)

[@geko9425]

@@daver4331 No it isnt. I live near the german alps. The Media is telling every year that the Glacier are going (and that is true for that particularly Spot) but I also See that other local spots are getting more ICE and snow over the years and have No problems to find some ICE

@@geko9425 you'll notice that this is a production from the British Mountaineering Council, about winter climbing in Scotland. Nothing to do with the Alps...

[@geko9425]

@@poacher5131 I noticed this. But I gave an answer to someone else. His post has nothing to do with the video, so wasnt mine

[@geko9425]

@Pete is never wrong No Problem with that. When You do ICE climbing the Joy of the Route is defined by the Challenge, the conditions, the experience and Joy together,... This is a combination of different "topics" which Overall give that good experience. I was only criticizing that this route isnt really challenging...
So calm down.
Maybe You dont have a big choice of nice Walls in England or scotland
