Desert Ice: a 3 Strings video production.

Desert Ice: a 3 Strings video production drops into the unlikely winter world of Zion National Park, where steep desert walls hide fleeting ribbons of climbable ice. Following Jesse Huey, Scott Adamson, Angela VanWiemeersch, and Pete Takeda, the film captures the hunt for conditions, the navigation into remote canyons, and the sharp-edged commitment of ice climbing when the objective exists only for a brief window. What makes it worth watching is the mix of awe and urgency: huge, rarely formed lines, dark humor, and the constant sense that nature sets the schedule, not the climbers. With Arc’teryx and 3 Strings behind the lens, expect crisp cinematography, grounded athlete commentary, and the kind of tension that comes from treating every swing like a decision you can’t take back—part adventure, part expedition, and all-in on the moment when “when it is in, it’s in.”

Desert Ice - Ice climbing in Zion National Park, Utah. Created for Arc'teryx by 3 Strings Productions - http://www.3stringsproductions.com/ http://arcteryx.com “No one has found a venue this big since they invented the f**kin' ice tool." “This is different than just hiking up to the Cave or the Amphitheater or whatever… You gotta use a compass.” “These things are not waiting on you. When it is in, it’s in.” “Climbing routes like this is like defusing a time bomb, and you can’t walk away from it."
