Climbing on ice: US climbers brave freezing weather in Minnesota


Sandstone (United States) (AFP) – Climbers brave freezing temperatures in an ice climbing festival held in Sandstone, Minnesota. “Dealing with the cold is definitely a big part of ice climbing,” participant Ethan Baker says. For fellow climber Catherine Schneider, it’s all about the views: “That’s why I like it, and it’s quiet and you are in places where mostly you couldn’t normally be.”
