I just have listened to a broadcast from MPR radio station about a man climbing
an ice cliff, one the dangerous sports. The man is an ice climber expert.
He has climbing several ice mountains, but the last one that he climbed
seemed the most difficult ever. He was talking to with the radio station while he was
climbing; and he was about 30 to 40 feet up to the ice cliff he hadn’t gotten on
the top yet, but he was able to the university north of Iowa and even his house.
This sport is dangerous in many ways; if you fall you may not die instantly, but
you may have some broken-bones. You can have frostbite. You know what happen when you get frostbite? Doctor will cut the part because all cells are dead. It’s not a very easy sport; I figure that it requires a lot of energy to do. Whoever wants to listen to the broadcast can go on this link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99844570
And there is a lot more to listen to, so enjoy it. Tell me if you find any thing interesting too.

...an interesting topic. I have heard of friends that it makes fun. I have climbed for some years too but not on ice. That is a little bit to much for me.
ReplyDeleteIce climbing sound interesting for me not to climb but to watch it in television and I agree with you its dangerous sport.Good job and keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting audio clip - it really shows how crazy Midwesterners are!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what a "silo" is?
Why is his most recent ice climb more difficult than climbing a cliff?
a "silo" is a very tall building in which people store animals food, etc. Or I think that it also means a large surface in the ground used to fire missile.
ReplyDeleteHis recent ice climbing is more difficult than climbing a cliff because this ice mountain goes really straight up that's what makes it the most difficult ever.
