Once you’ve mastered the basics, you may get a chance to drop down
into a vertical shaft in the ice, called a moulin. If you look close, you
can see Kristin down at the bottom of the hole.

Kristin climbs up out of a Moulin and into the sunlight.

The terrain on the glacier allows us to pick terrain from easy, low angled walls to extremely challenging, overhanging ice. |
