  • 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.
    “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.” - Jeff Mercier
