攀冰——勇敢者的游戏

These breathtaking photographs show climbers scaling a treacherous tunnel made entirely from ice to make their way out of a cave carved in a frigid glacier.
The brave explorers look as though they are on the verge of sliding down the swooping sides of the cave - a vertiginous drop of more than 20m onto jagged ice.
Braving freezing temperatures and a dangerous ascent, Alexandre Buisse clung to supports screwed directly into the walls of ice to photograph his friends scaling the Mer de Glace glacier in Chamonix, France.

Scaling these frozen waterfalls on dangerously thin ice, this male and female climbing duo's fate is very much in their hands.
Using only ice-axes and crampons to keep them from falling them to their death, they take the notion of free climbing to the extreme.
With liquid water underneath, one moment's lack of judgement by either climber could cause the whole structure to collapse, burying them under tons of solid ice and freezing cold water.

Top climbers Sam Elias and Emily Harrington needed nerves of steel and total confidence in each other to complete a 30-minute ascent of an ice column in Vail, Colorado, without being killed in the process.
Photographer, Boone Speed, 46, from Portland in Oregon captured the eye-popping pictures.
'You don't want to make a mistake up there,' said Boone. 'The worse-case scenario is the whole column collapses and they are both killed.
'Just to climb these ice pillars at all it incredible - these are world class climbers on very difficult and dangerous routes.

'These guys are pushing the limits to what is possible - their goal is to climb something other people can't climb.
'That's why they are sponsored to do what they do and travel all over the world to climb.
'But sometimes people push it too far the ice gets too thin. That's when accidents happen.'

The mighty ice columns Sam and Emily both ascend is created by mountain ice melt, which refreezes during the winter months as it travel over cliff faces.
'Sam and Emily climb in partnership to tackle these dangerous climbs,' said Boone.
'They need total trust and knowledge of eachother's techniques to survive. Climbing doesn't get any better than this, it was a total privilege to witness first hand.'
