In January 2008, Mountain Hardwear athlete Neil Gresham set out to Iceland with a small team of British climbers to investigate rumours of sea cliffs with ice climbing potential. They were blown away by what they found. The cliffs of Kaldakin in the North West turned out to be an ice climber's paradise and the team climbed several new routes, including a freestanding WI 6 pillar, that was set dramatically against a backdrop of the crashing ocean. There were no other visitors to the cliffs during the duration of their trip. The short video attached shows what happened.
This lovely silent movie was produced by Neil Gresham, with additional help from Ian Parnell.
