Video: hard winter routes



This superb video covers Ueli Steck - speed record holder for the three great north faces of the Alps - and his recent climbing trip to Scotland. The footage gives you an up close view of what today's hardmen are capable of ... drips of ice, dry tooling, long runouts, and hoar frost. This style of ice climbing makes climbing thick frozen waterfalls look kind of tame!
