Jeff Mercier explores the joys of ice climbing in Chamonix after some time away from the mountains. He’s met by the discovery of a beautiful ice cave, full of imagination and possibility.
“I stumble upon an image recently taken showing the inside of an enormous ice cave. There’s no further information given about its position, but given the surroundings I can instantly guess the glacier it must be hidden in.” - Jeff Mercier

I'm always amazed at what people do for relaxation/fun. Fabulous video.
😮 🙈
Jeff Mercier , one of the greatest ice climbers of our time. Very humble dude willing to help any one with teaching and question you may have.
I couldn't get over his face mannerisms, it was like he was working a day job. Super nice

ok
No, His Camera man is one of the greatest ice climbers lol 😂
Talk about passion, endurance, skill, technique and love of doing something this has to be one of those things. Awesome footage, one has to be brave and strong to do this type of climbing in particular.
When I see good videos like this I usually take out my time to appreciate the experts that make these videos possible.
Super duper awesomeness! All three locations offered something different. The last one, snow cave entrance was spectacular. I could only imagine falling into that cold cold water.
My mate fell into a glacier stream...they found his body days later...RIP Charlie.
@@howler6490 RIP!
Excellent mon amis - Great adventure- Merci!
Passion , strength and endurance are important tools such adventure. Awesome scenery. Love to see it again

This was incredible to watch. Thank you for this.
Hats off to this tracker and their guts, skills. You need real guts to go there. Salute to cameraman also for beautiful camera work.
Che meraviglia ! Complimenti!
That’s so cool ! Look really excited and enjoy the amazing ice.
I have to be honest, these are the things that wakes me up in the night sweating. Respect to those who do this.
That was very intense & beautiful.

I am Indonesian🇲🇨🇲🇨and proud of you ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Extraordinary climbers! You are amazing! Respect!
Wow! So cool. The ice looks so beautiful.
It's a really impressive video. I am happy to feel the beauty and their greatness through this video.👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was a rock and ice climber for many years in the WA State Cascades. Now at 80 years I realize how crazy that was. I think that the man that was called the "Swiss Machine" would have agreed with me.
You have a good life
Amazing. Wish you well my friend!!
My father was a mountaineer and did a lot of climbing in the Cascades as well. He is in his 70s now and I suspect he really misses it. He used to teach some courses for the Tacoma Mountaineers.
Yeah the glaciers in WA (Western Australia) are absolutely incredible - so beautiful its impossible to believe they exist.

Watching them climb up that vertical cliff was a nail-biter for me! Yah there were cables but a fall is no joke!
Nice this video❤❤
Incredible!
Impressionnant, et les images sont magnifiques
Amazing!!! I wish I had the physical ability to do anything remotely like that anymore. Shattered my femur, tore my PCL and my knee is trashed, all left side. But I’m alive.
Beautiful😍😍
Nice work ❤️
Great video and document, keep it up!
It's rocking
They are really brave. I can not imagine how difficult this is!
@Lina How the hell is this "brave"?? It's total stupidity...
@@jakewest2524 You do know that they have a rope?
i would have thought , that it was actually quite safe . you are roped up . the journey there in the car was more dangerous....
Incredible
You guys are great you made ice climbing look so easy lol
When you achieve something it looks easy.
it does not look easy
It looks pretty scary and danger
unreal. awesome.
Can't describe my Feelings!!
Just amazing 🤞🤞
JEFF MERCIER #1 WELL DONE YOUR THE BEST WE LOVE YOU HERE IN THE USA. GOD BLESS YOUR KIND SOUL BE SAFE WE NEED YOU!
this is sick
You are perfect. Congratulations.
The lenghts we as humans go to to have fun and entertain us never cease to amaze me. These guys just put some anchors in an ice cave and climbed it upside down for fun lmao
Brrr, my hands were freezing just by watching. Amazing video!
Amazing 👍
That was to tight, great job all
Props to the camera man for going into creative mode 👍
Damn, I love this video 🥶😍😍

Omg oh man you fill it live .......god blessssss you
Splendide ✨merci 💚✨✨✨
the person filming must be spider man
😂😂 Right!!!!
I respect to camera holder. This man has to climb first and record the rest climber. That's the true man.
Je tombe sur cette vidéo au hasard, franchement c'était a la fois sublime et terrifiant
Ce fameux cameraman si prestigieux C'etait moi
@@yungkevin1150c était quoi la soundtrack à 4:36?
Oh ! how awful silence before catastrophic seen it is ! incredible , please would you be careful for climbing on the ice.(90yrs.Japanese)God bless and keep you.
Tres magnifique! Merci beaucoup.
Ce fameux cameraman si prestigieux C'etait moi
the first one was so insane omg
There isn't a snowball's chance in hell you'd get me to climb down into the ice pit of darkness. Brave dudes.
the most appropriate use of that idiom, ever.

Amazing that the nature creates all these posible lines to climb, and how the humans (Oliver and Jeff), picks a combination of holds and climb it!! Mindblowing that those lines are a gap in time to climb it Chingonsisimo video!
