What do you get when you put together a telephone pole, an array of nozzles and hoses and pumps, water, -56F temperatures and a group of people with way too much time on their hands?

You get your very own ice climbing wall!

Follow this hilarious account of members of the Alaskan Alpine Club, as their ice wall grows, and changes, and morphs... into a real thing of beauty. Something only a semi-deranged ice climber could love.

These guys are nuts!

And it may be contagious.

I hear rumblings already from the local underground ice climbing community. Garbled whisperings about "northern exposure" and "vertical drop," "water access" and "hose lines." "The Big Drip." And mutterings about "radiation exposure from the antenna towers."

Oh God. They're serious.
