We (wife and I) were in Utah for Christmas Break and went up Provo Canyon early the day after Christmas. It was a frigid 12deg (we're from Phoenix). We both rock climb and were excited to watch this crew in action. For the locals, this is just to the West of the falls. There is so much white, I felt it needed the vignetting, but comments are welcome. It was fun to watch this crew go!

    To freaked out to try. That's why I don't ice climb. They were whacking pretty good with their ice picks though. Not for me.

    I'd be just as worried about a spear of it going into my shoulder & exiting my ankle.
