Icy Allstone Ridge on New Year's Eve 2023
31 December 2023
A courageous group of the members of Polish Men and Women Mountaineering Club of Edmonton scaled Allstone Ridge in Clearwater County, Alberta, Canada, on the last day of 2023. Here is the film document of their effort involving some risky situations on the icy trail, anticommercial about ice clits, wild wolf howling with a bit of Serbian accent, and some sexy singing for the President (of the Club, myself that is) in Marylin Monroe style!
Don't miss it!
