Climbing Photography By Ben Herndon

As dangerous as ice climbing sounds, Herndon believes it's really only as dangerous as you make it. "If you read the ice well and avoid sketchy conditions such as rapidly melting ice or detached or fractured columns than you risk is much lower," he tells us. "As you build up the technique and knowledge, that goes along with repeat experience, you can jump on more technical routes with a higher margin of safety. It's not to say that steep ice is a walk in grandma's potato garden, because it's not. But like any pursuit you get more confidant with time. And honestly, what other sport do you get to use such awesome toys? You have spikes on you feet and in you hands. Plus the feeling of getting a good stick into the ice with your tools is magic."
Herndon was kind enough to share some of his most thrilling ice climbing photos with us for all of us to enjoy.
