It’s an icy ascent with the occasional scary descent.

The highlight of the 20th edition of the Annual Ouray Ice Festival in Ouray, Colorado was, as usual, the Ice Climbing competition.

Thirty of the world’s top climbers tackled the challenging Mighty Aphrodite route.

Coming out on top was 47-year-old Will Gadd of Canada with Angelika Rainer finishing second overall and first among the 10 female climbers.
