#ICE CLIMBER FALL FULL#
Ice climbers are a tight-knit community, Smith said, which is why he and his guiding staff were hoping for a full recovery for the injured climber. I broke my neck, my pelvic bone and four ribs. The worst fall I ever had happened while I was in Aspen, Colorado, in 2002. Ice that forms thick over a cliff face or section of rock is generally more stable, Smith said, whereas The Fang was thinner. W hen you’re climbing, things can go from fun to serious pretty quick. The Fang, unlike some other formations in the area, forms as a free-standing pillar. “Getting on a relatively narrow pillar is not appropriate for the level of safety we demand for our clients.” “We do not guide The Fang in its current condition,” Smith said.

The formation has only recently filled in to the point where someone might consider leading it, meaning they’re climbing it from the ground up, Smith said. Smith said he has not climbed The Fang this winter and guesses not many people, if any, have climbed it this winter before Tuesday.

Back in their glory days, they chased eggplants, cucumbers, and other vegetables that inexplicably fell from frosty summits when a condor reigned supreme. These two stars of the game Ice Climber have scaled many an icy summit in their mountaineering careers. “However, it was not unusually cold today.” Ice Climber 10/85 Thats Popo in the blue and Nana in the pink. “When it’s colder the ice doesn’t displace as much (when you place an ice ax or crampons into it) and it tends to shatter more,” Smith said. Warmer temperatures can cause ice to melt, but it wasn’t so warm Tuesday that Smith was concerned about ice melting.Ĭolder temperatures affect the ice in a different way, Smith said. Scott Smith, owner of the Apex Mountain School, a Vail Valley-based rock and ice-climbing school and guide service, was guiding an ice-climbing trip in East Vail this morning and said the weather wasn’t particularly warm or cold. Bob Silva said two other climbers who were climbing the neighboring ice feature came over to help when the accident happened, one of whom happened to be a certified emergency medical technician. One climber did say that about six climbers were in the area when the accident happened. None of the four climbers wanted to make any comment on the incident. At least one of those climbers rode in the ambulance to the hospital with the victim, while four more ice-climbers were at the rescue scene, visibly shaken. The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office reported that two friends were climbing with the man.

The neighboring formation, known as The Designator, is where crews rescued a man last winter who fell about 70 feet and survived, Bosworth said.
