One of the coolest climbing films. Sad that Scott’s not still around. RIP Scott 🙏

[@norman9274]

"They don't teach that in Freedom of the Hills!" OMG I died. LOL

[@mattnorris529]

Me too.

[@JohnCooper322]

R.I.P. Scott. Miss you. I'll never forget our first three big walls in Zion.

[@graysonridge4080]

Been awhile since I’ve watched this gem. So insanely rad. Climbing world lost a true legend when Scott passed.

[@ryandonaghy8613]

Since it came out, it’s been one of my fav climbing videos. Lots of humour with some badass climbing. Obviously made completely poignant by Scott’s passing. A few years ago.

"Regardless of whether you are a climber, most anyone keen on a good adventure will easily sink their teeth into this film. Director Keith Ladzinski brings his characters to front and center, letting them tell the story, and uses his hand to wrap their story in a cool modern western style...." Desert Ice: A 3 Strings Productions video is up for The Explorers Award from the Cold Smoke awards for 2014/15. The Explorers award will go to the film pushing geographic and personal exploration the furthest. More about the Cold Smoke Awards: bit.ly/12wdBFf

[@GusAlexandropoulos]

Keith Ladzinski has a great visual aesthetic.

[@ColdsmokeFilm]

One of the rowdiest films submitted this year. Definitely got our attention. Give these guys a vote for the People's Choice Award if you like what you see.

[@ritzyllama]

that sequence around 9 minutes had me floored...

[@MrFg1980]

I saw this article as well as the awesome photos in Climbing and went snooping around Zion last March looking for these canyons. Cool climbing in a cool place.

[@PaoloPogliotti]

[@matthiasbowie3844]

[@johns3106]

[@TimberTramp]

[@AGH331]

"Ice? In the desert?!" The world's largest desert is this small, desolate island called ... Antarctica ;)

[@nalifilmcollective4535]

Holy Crap... Where in Zion is this??

[@prometeochile]

trees in the desert? wow thats really new!! awesome videos by the way but I don't think it qualifies for a real desert. rock+sling for protection!! old school!! love it

[@matthewwhalen2522]

Is this the whole thing or is there more?

[@hemming57]

No cams?

[@MrAussieJules]

damm that was a sketchy lead... Zion NP is beautiful...

[@Tr1pMind]

Ice is not a myth. GIS is your friend.

[@chanceronemus7634]

How are you using GIS to find ice? I'd be really interested in hearing about it.

[@Cubeeclips]

epic

[@milkman_and_wife]

Looks like that pick goes into soft samdstone

[@diegorampiketa]

wenaa locooo

[@colbjallen8334]

[@hazloner117]

Offwidth ice climbing, sure, I'm game

[@mzlittle]

#balls!

[@akaTheDevil]

So sketch ahaha I would have definitely just top rope

[@karlstemmler6713]

I knew a young man, in his twenties. He called himself a good Ice Climber too. Guess what/ he did not live to be 25. The Tuckerman took him.

[@zakiranderson722]

1. Why stand on the edge UNSAFE. 2. Why pull the ropes to commit UNSAFE 3. Why joke around UNSAFE Conclusion UNSAFE but talented

[@MurkRoyale]

Zakir Anderson is have to agree with you.. no need to push it, the experience is already raw af

[@zakiranderson722]

@@MurkRoyale exactly. I'd be shitting it top ropped.

[@robbimecus4316]

Zakir, why climb at all? Everything we do is unsafe. If you think it’s unsafe, then don’t do it.

[@MurkRoyale]

I think there are always apparent dangers, but the risks should be managed by being smart.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Well, he probably won't live very long. Drinking alcohol and ANY dangerous feat simply do NOT go together, eventually they will die! There are many mountain peaks in Utah, I skied there several times. There are many in the 12000 foot plus range. And it gets cold. Utah is FAR from being all desert!

[@marinesrock72050]

He died in 2016.

[@idn]

Awesome!
