powderhound Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 If ice climbing becomes the nest bouldering I am going to shit my pants . Maybe this belogns is spary but it will get more attenion here. Does anyone know if it is a profession climber? If so which one? I saw it during the half time commerical of the Ohio state Florida Game, the ice climber was climbing ice that was shaped like a budweiser crown on the side of a dark mountian.

Couloir Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I didn't see it, but perhaps it's the same 'ice climber' in the Lexus commercial...leashed I might add...pussy. gZ2SqeVTVC0 (nice car though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 wtf? 8 sec into the Lexus one, he swings his ADZE into the ice and weights it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMc Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I climbed the peak on the Kokanee beer bottle a few years ago (Giant's Kneecap, Kokanee glacier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 wtf? 8 sec into the Lexus one, he swings his ADZE into the ice and weights it. Actually he doesn't. I thought the same thing. But if you play it and stop right when he swings, you'll notice he swings the proper end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It's really weird. Looks like the ice tools aren't matching. And the second tool he swings has the curve of the shaft the wrong way, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 In the next shot, he's high-stepping awfully high when unnecessary. Though I'm a wimpy ice climber, I take much smaller steps with my feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sill Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Ice climbing is far too expensive an too region dependent for it to become all that popular.(although one look at the Ouray Ice Park on a holiday weekend might make it seem different) A kid can go down to a shop and drop a couple of hundred bucks on shoes, chalkbag and bouldering pad and have all the shit he/she really needs to get started. Ice climbing of course requires a bunch of expensive gear and somewhat close proximity to accessable ice. Ice climbing is also cold and miserable most of the time, which is far outside of most americans comfort level.

Chad_A Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Then Americans need to suck it up and make the requisite 13 hour road trip. Too cold? Bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
