Ice Hunters: Cave of Dreams

Jeff Mercier explores the joys of ice climbing in Chamonix after some time away from the mountains. He’s met by the discovery of a beautiful ice cave, full of imagination and possibility.
“I stumble upon an image recently taken showing the inside of an enormous ice cave. There’s no further information given about its position, but given the surroundings I can instantly guess the glacier it must be hidden in.” - Jeff Mercier

Talk about passion, endurance, skill, technique and love of doing something this has to be one of those things. Awesome footage, one has to be brave and strong to do this type of climbing in particular.

I was a rock and ice climber for many years in the WA State Cascades. Now at 80 years I realize how crazy that was. I think that the man that was called the "Swiss Machine" would have agreed with me.

[@AgungSiTraveler]

You have a good life

[@MonsterHDE]

Amazing. Wish you well my friend!!

[@tac6044]

My father was a mountaineer and did a lot of climbing in the Cascades as well. He is in his 70s now and I suspect he really misses it. He used to teach some courses for the Tacoma Mountaineers.
