Vertical Chill - Saab Ice Wall


Ice Climbing has been on my "must do" list for a while. I grabbed the chance to take an hour's climbing on the Saab Ice Wall in London. It was huge fun, though quite tiring. I completed 2 straight ascents, then 2 with an overhang, and tried the most difficult face twice.



Although I'm in a fridge full of ice, it's hot work, and once I'd finished my session and changed, I headed into Covent Garden to act like a tourist, before meeting up for a Pastie with Tim who is a fellow member of Anniviers Ski. It's nearly Christmas, and I'm certain I've never seen a Reindeer this large! Santa's view December 24th....



Around and about in Covent Garden.
