Climbing The Wall (GoT) // Ice Climbing on Fox Glacier

Climbing The Wall (GoT) // Ice Climbing on Fox Glacier (NZ)

What could be better than pretending to be John Snow (who knows nothing btw)? Imagine you’re climbing The Wall back into Westeros, while pretending to be a Wildling, when actually you’re still a Crow, but you are in love with a wildling, who is your sworn enemy, but you’ll end up saving them from the White Walkers, then inviting them for a chill sesh back at Castle Black. *Deep breath*

Complicated I know.

​

Despite the intricacies and twists and turns of the Game of Thrones storyline (if you don’t watch it I’m not sure we can be friends) there is no better feeling than hanging from a tiny ice pick 20m off the ground, smashing another into an ice wall, sending shards of snow and ice sprinkling down below.

​

Well, there is the helicopter ride up to the glacier, that is pretty awesome.

​

Oh, and the hike around the glacier to find some suitable ice walls to sink your teeth into, stopping in at ice caves, huge waterfalls and glacial pools. That’s pretty sweet as well.

​

To be honest there isn’t really any part of this that wasn’t bloody fantastic!

​

So if you ever get the chance, give it a whack.
