pacific northwest Ice Climbers

When you said ice climbers I thought you meant something like this http://www.karpel.org/Ron/Reports2001/Ouray020301_12.html

I would call them mountaineers or maybe just climbers.

Nice shot though.

I have to agree that "ice climbers" is a misnomer

for this image. I believe this picture would

nicely complement an article on the pressures of

ecotourism on nature. This picture is not about

the experiences of mountaineers; it's more about

the experience of the moountain.

Nice picture of that side of the story.
