Ice Climbing in the Ghost: Candlestick Maker and Hidden Dragon
Loading...
Uploaded by petervalchev on Jan 1, 2010
Ice climbing in the Ghost River Valley, Canada. Orient Point is a drainage that hosts several high-quality ice climbs that can be combined for a nice day. We climbed the easy approach ice and started off with a short pillar to the left of Hidden Dragon, after which we continued to Candlestick Maker, our real objective. It consists of a short & stout free standing pillar, pouring in front of a large cave. The second pitch is a longer version of the same.
This is a 3-minute compilation I made with my helmet camera to show parts of the experience. Submitting this for the AAC video contest!

Great video and really really nice climb man. I tried my hand at ice climbing this year in Arkansas and it wasn't the best ice, but I still had a blast. I really want to do some more.

Thanks for the comment... that sounds awesome that you tried it out! You should make a trip to Ouray as it's not too far and there is a canyon full of ice. Cheers

The Ouray festival was the week after my Arkansas trip. Now that I've got a taste for it, I plan on buying some gear this year and make it out there next winter! The tools are fairly straight forward but I'm completely lost on the boots and crampons.

Awesome. Basically any boots and crampons will do, I like La Sportiva as they fit me well, but find some that fit you. For crampons you can get the Petzl Dartwin's/M10 or BD Cyborg's for example. Hope that helps a bit.
