The Only Good Ice –
February 22, 2019 – “I don’t call ice climbing a sport. I call it an endeavor, a practice. It’s got too much danger to call it a sport. But that’s one of the reasons I love it. The danger brings you completely into the present moment.”
Today, Talbot is climbing at the Ouray Ice Park in Ouray, Colorado. It’s a small mountain town nestled in the San Juan Mountains that’s affectionately known as the “Switzerland of America.” A light flurry of snow is falling steadily as Talbot finishes prepping her gear. She’s completely unfazed by the snowfall, which seems to only enhance what she describes as an endeavor surrounded by natural beauty.
