Ice climbing

With the ice prince on glacier ice - the elegant dance on transience
Photo production for Maloja with Markus Bendler, world champion ice climber Its bitterly cold, the glacier ice is hard and brittle - not ideal conditions for ice climbing. Markus Bendler, who is nicknamed the "Ice Prince" and has left his mark on the world of mountaineering with his daring ascents, seems pretty relaxed and unimpressed. The ice tools are in place, the sharp crampons grip the shimmering blue ice and metre by metre he climbs the steep overhang of the glacier cave. Ice climbing is the elegant dance of transience!
