loud noises
Hey everybody
it is a beautiful morning here in Fox glacier on the friendly West coast of New Zealand
Now what I'm going to do today is I'm going to take a helicopter up to the glacier
And then do some ice climbing yeah
I have never done ice climbing before it's going to be the whole works ice picks crampons all that stuff
They say you don't have to have any experience, and I hope that's true
And I hope I'm fit enough to actually do this, but I am super excited
So walking up there
So you're gonna step and stem all the way up there
Check out this glacier
So we did our introductory course just taking a break and we're going to be going to be climbing for real pretty soon
Walking mode
Alright, good to go
Glacier water... The best water
Alright, coming down
But this overhang isn't actually that long
So if you look at it you are overhanging
3 meters of overhang
There you go, David on you go
I'll come back down now
I just marked my spot on this glacier Now that spot's mine forever
So you're just gonna walk to the edge and swing around
Just keep heading around that way
(This way?) Yeah, until you're in line with me
So you're kind of leaning all the way over the edge
Awesome, buddy, lean back and I"ll let you know when you're at the bottom
You just head up to the ice axe
This glacier is beautiful
(Back down?) Yep
If you're happy with that...
yeah, It's a good starting point where I have a foothold
So, we'll go from here
Yeah, it's pretty cool down there
man, yeah, it's beautiful
hmm
You guys thank so much for joining me on this
amazing ice climbing adventure
This is something I didn't even think I'd have the opportunity to do
but when I found out that I could
It was really an on the spot decision but I don't regret it one bit
I would honestly love to come and do more ice climbing here or anywhere else
