    Ice Climbers

    I had the opportunity to go to Calgary this week for work, and took a couple of extra days to go to Banff and Lake Louise.

    Caught these crazies on an ice waterfall in Lake Louise:



    This is the guy at the top of the picture in the above pic:


    I posted these in Nature & Wildlife too, but I thought they fit in here as well.

    Cheers,

    Randy.

    Feel free to edit my photos to improve them, don't be afraid to ask for the raw image if you feel you can help!

    Wow, that's insane. Such a beautiful, yet dangerous surface to climb...

    Well captured.
    I like the way the climbers positions in the first lead my eye down and up.

    Gal was killed near here this winter doing the same thing.

    Great catch on these. Some people will make a sport out of anything. The more dangerous the better.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Just amazing that someone wants to climb something that is impossible to hold onto! Not my cup of tea, but apparently some folks need more excitement than I can stand.
