http://broadbandsports.com/taxonomy/term/36960/0 en http://broadbandsports.com/node/23142 On a back-country ski trip, Tom spotted a vertical ice line some kilometers away. A forthnight after Tom, Steinar and I went on an expedition to make our first frist-ascent on vertical ice ever. It was icy, rainy and scared the sh*t out of number one, while camera man Steinar and belay monkey Tom almost froze to death... The line is now called Tiramisu (Ital. "pull me up") named after the desert we had when planning the trip.

The Ghost is considered by many to be the center of the universe for ice climbing, as there are great routes and cold temperatures, yet a very low risk of avalanches.<br><br /> So if you're in to ice climbing, be sure to check out this video. If you aren't into ice climbing, there are some beautiful scenes and great music, and it's quite entertaining to watch...
