Ice & Mixed Climbing Video: Petzl Ice Trip to Ben Nevis - Scotland
If there's one place on earth where climbers celebrate the arrival of the next snowstorm, it has to be Scotland. Each winter, pounded by the North Atlantic winds, the Scottish Highlands are plastered by a layer of snow and frost. A Petzl team made up of Martial Dumas, Ueli Steck, Yann Mimet, Mathieu Maynadier, Aljaz Anderle and Erwan Lelann and guided by local Andy Turner, made the obligatory pilgrimage to this temple of frozen ice and cold stone. This video has it all, including a rare sighting of the Loch Ness monster and a Ueli Steck flash (second ascent) of The Secret (X, 10) - the hardest route at the Ben.

Can anyone help me? Thanks from Madrid!!!

The music in this short film
Fri, 24/06/2011 - 17:31 — expédition (not verified)Overall, this was a wonderfully shot climbing film. being from the US, there is nowhere here quite like Scotland. That is another great thing about climbing, the ability to journey to far off places and experience new cultures, terrains, and faces.
The climbers they chose to follow certainly seemed happy to visit Ben Nevis and other Scottish locales for the firs time. Moreover, they showed the joy and camaraderie that climbing has to offer to all those who wish to partake in the challenge.
