    News on February 1, 2012: Climbing a 100-foot-tall ice pillar can send chills down the spine, even for those who are usually very calm. Whether scaling frozen waterfalls or avoiding all possible risks during the climb, it is highly attractive to highly skilled professional mountaineers or full-time adventurers.

     Sam Elias, a 28-year-old from Colorado, USA, has a particular fondness for the world-renowned ice pillar Fang. He transported his photography equipment near the Rocky Mountains so that his photographer friend Keith Ladzinsky could capture his climb. The frozen waterfall known as Fang once experienced a collapse accident two years ago, causing a climber to fall and sustain serious injuries.
