Incredible Footage of and Ice Climber Exploring an Epic Ice Cave in The Mountains of Chamonix, France
Ice climber Jeff Mercier shared a video featuring awesome footage of him exploring an incredible ice cave in the mountains of Chamonix, France. I love exploring caves and mines, I’ve never done anything like this, but it’s pretty freakin’ spectacular.
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.
When talking about what inspired him to do the ice excursion, he said:
“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. …My passion for Alpinism was, is, and will always be, at the centre of my being. Now, however, it was about setting my priorities. This process moved my focus to the ice climbing element of Alpinism.”
