Capturing the Ice While the ice climbing season in Lee Vining and other parts of the Sierra is coming to a close, the time to be thinking about ways to improve for next year is not. One of the nicest parts about climbing outdoors in the winter is the beautiful scenery. There's a lot of opportunities for excellent snow and ice pictures. Below is an awesome video giving great tips on how to make the most of your camera work.

  Climbing Clip of the Week: Ice Climbing The Ghost Wilderness This week, I decided to do something a little different for the Climbing Clip of the Week. The first reason I chose this, was because of the Winter weather blast that has been blanketing the entire West Coast; the second reason, is because it IS Winter, and the scenery in this ice-climbing clip is breathtakingly gorgeous.

If you've ever ice-climbed you can account for just how tricky, how exciting and how rewarding it is. It feels totally different than traditional climbing and uses an entirely different skill set than traditional climbing, but anyone that loves one, almost always loves the other.

So, without further ado, enjoy this week's Climbing Clip of the Week. Stay warm, stay dry, get all your shopping done this weekend and most of all, have an amazing weekend filled with climbing, fitness and friends!
