    Me too, but only to remind myself why i'd never bother to climb such a
    thing.

    Give me good solid anchors into rock, any day.

    Heh (120ft). Fair play, overhanging ice is a daunting prospect.
    Thought they were climbing at about Scottish grade VI,7. Grade
    V,6 is about as much as I feel comfortable with and have lead at
    (once), this route, in fact:

    Glad to see the instructors first rule was "dont fall off".

    Having said that, seconding on overhanging ice, they weren't
    going to be clattering down the hill, flailing all their pointy
    bits about. So they were reasonably safe.
