[BACK TO INDEX]



Vertical ice climbing on Mt. Hunter, Alaska, on the first ascent of "The Wall of Shadows." This 5,000 foot climb took Michael Kennedy (pictured) and Greg Child nine days to complete in 1994. Facing due north, this wall is a bitterly cold place, yet the ice and mixed climbing is wild, hard and challenging.
