Really like the steam as the snow heats up the ice or is it spin drift.Fantastic!

Another Great shot Jon!! Do you tend to climb in two pairs? Or happen to be in the right place (a lot) with other teams around??

Truly..the stuff of dreams...love it!

Fantastic and make me very jealous!
Neal F - 08/Dec/08
Phenomenal shot..
Jim Slater - 08/Dec/08
Fantastic. How did you meter the shot? Must take some skill to get the detail on the serac while pointing into the sun, and getting the middle distance to look cracking too.

Amazing shot that must have been a fantastic climb, very jealous!

Mike Hutton: Definitely spindrift! Steam would have been a little terrifying to say the least...
Sanntone Stickman: You are very rarely in the right place at the right time with random people in the right place in the alps (if that makes sense). We often climb as a three though and I just solo/ unrope on the easier sections, or clip into pro when I want to get a shot.
Jopari: Was a little worried about the metering but it turned out fine as enough light was reflected off the snow back into the serac so that it was all exposed without any problems.
Thanks for all the comments

Amazing and Inspiring
PretendClimber - 18/Dec/08
Just awesome. And that shadow the climbers are heading into makes you think they´re heading into even more difficulties. This takes some serious guts
Drofn - 20/Dec/08
Amazing shot.
