Incredible stuff. This guy is insane.

I have a female friend who does water ice speed climbs in Russia. She has sent me vids and I can't believe ow quick they can move with a couple fiffi hooks and and some kind of special crampons with front points and single heel point only.

thanks for sharing this.
