Not the first time I've seen photos of the Polar Star Couloir, but wow! Still takes my breath away. Can't imagine climbing on just a few inches of snow over blue ice, especially with that much runout below me...

Awesome video!

I almost always wear a bathing suit when I climb. If you see me say hey!
