Perfect day ice climbing on Sólheimajökull glacier with Ice Hunters
Ice Hunters的点评
点评：We are so grateful we chose a private tour with Ice Hunters and feel so very fortunate to have had Simion as our guide. We could not recommend Ice Hunters more highly.
Our family of 6 adults spent the day on Sollheimajokull glacier with Simion in early November. A few had rock climbed, but none of us had tried ice climbing. We ranged in age from 28 -70, all sturdy, but with a broad range of strength, experience and comfort with heights.
Simion helped us pick the best day for our glacier adventure and it turned out to be near perfect conditions: blue sky, low 30’s Farenheit and not too breezy. You cannot be assured of such perfect weather, but you can count on a great adventure, with safety first but also lots of encouragement to try things you never imagined you could do.
First up was securing the crampons to our boots (note that sturdy above-ankle hiking boots are mandatory). Simion carefully fitted each of us with crampons and personally secured all 12 feet to this essential piece of equipment. As the day proceeded I many times thanked the stars that Simion had done this for me. Losing a crampon would not be good I realized on our first steps onto the inclined near-sheer ice. This focus on safety carried throughout the day as he instructed us about the various serious hazards to avoid. He triple checked every piece of equipment we relied on, and then tested it himself. While taking these precautions and helping us understand their importance he still maintained a super relaxed demeanor, allowing us to focus on the incredible beauty of the glacier, its crevasses and caves.
We hiked first to a crevasse that had carved ice steps down. Simion secured a rope to help the descent and instructed everyone how to go down safely. With no comment when it was my turn he casually slipped ahead of me to make sure I got down comfortably. I loved that he did this without any mention that I might be scared or have trouble. He just knew and helped.
Once in the crevasse he secured the ice climbing ropes. He had given us lessons along the way on how to use our crampons and ice tools. Secured by rope to our harnesses we each scaled the 30+ foot crevasse wall, Simion instinctively knowing who to encourage and instruct and who to leave be, secure in his knowledge that we were all safe. It was a total thrill (and a lot of effort!) to make it to the top and see the morning sun peeking over the mountains at the glacier’s edge.
We also each entered the most gorgeous narrow ice cave, an ethereal blue nature-sculpted space for moment of solitude inside the massive glacier.
We climbed back up the ice stairs and headed to the next climb. Three of us were willing to give it a try. Zero pressure applied to those who declined. This one required descending a sheer vertical wall on belay, stepping off the ledge backwards to descend 60+ feet into a narrow crevasse. No stairs out of this one. Just a ledge to rest on briefly before the hugely challenging climb back up. Again, knowing just how to encourage and instruct, Simion got all 3 down and back up safely. Each one came over the top beyond exhausted but also elated at what they had accomplished. Simion encouraged the rest of us to lean out over the crevasse to understand what they had experienced. As he encouraged me to step further to lean out over the crevasse (securely attached by harness and rope) he asked if I could see the bottom: “Yup” I lied, knees knocking. To the next to approach the edge he said “Now no cheating like your mom! Look to the bottom.” What a great touch for a guide, allowing me to fudge and beat a hasty retreat because he knew I was too scared, but prodding the next in line to fully experience the moment because he knew she could do it.
As we headed off the glacier we peppered Simion with questions. He is full of knowledge and experience and was happy to share what he knew. We looked across the glacier to see several large groups waiting in line for their few minutes to try a skill, none approaching the attention and challenges Simion had offered us. How lucky were we? Very lucky.

翻译：我们非常感激我们选择了冰猎人的私人旅行，并感到非常幸运有西蒙作为我们的导游。我们强烈推荐冰猎人。
十一月初，我们一家六口与 Simion 在索尔黑马冰川度过了一天。有些人攀岩，但我们没有人尝试过攀冰。我们的年龄从 28 岁 -70 岁不等，都很强壮，但具有广泛的力量、经验和高度舒适度。
Simion 帮我们挑选了冰川探险的最佳日子，事实证明，那天的天气条件近乎完美：蓝天、华氏 30 度以下，而且微风不大。你不能保证会有如此完美的天气，但你可以指望一次伟大的冒险，安全第一，但也有很多鼓励去尝试你从未想象过的事情。
首先是将冰爪固定在我们的靴子上（请注意，必须穿着坚固的踝部以上登山靴）。 Simion 仔细地为我们每个人安装了冰爪，并亲自将所有 12 英尺固定在这个重要的设备上。随着时间的推移，我多次感谢星星为我所做的一切。当我们第一次踏上倾斜的近乎纯粹的冰面时，我意识到失去冰爪可不是什么好事。当他指示我们要避免的各种严重危险时，这一整天都对安全的关注。他对我们所依赖的每一件设备都进行了三次检查，然后亲自进行了测试。在采取这些预防措施并帮助我们了解其重要性的同时，他仍然保持着超级放松的态度，让我们能够专注于冰川、裂缝和洞穴的令人难以置信的美丽。
我们首先徒步来到一条裂缝，那里有冰雕成的台阶。西蒙绑了一根绳子帮助下降，并指导大家如何安全下降。轮到我时，他没有发表任何评论，随意地滑到我前面，以确保我舒适地坐下。我喜欢他这样做，没有提到我可能会害怕或遇到麻烦。他只是知道并提供帮助。
进入裂缝后，他固定住了攀冰绳。一路上他教我们如何使用冰爪和冰工具。我们每个人都用绳子固定在安全带上，攀登了 30 多英尺高的裂缝墙，西蒙本能地知道该鼓励和指导谁，以及该离开谁，他知道我们都很安全。登上山顶并看到清晨的阳光从冰川边缘的山上窥视，真是令人兴奋不已（而且需要付出很大的努力！）。
我们还各自进入了最华丽的狭窄冰洞，这是一个空灵的蓝色自然雕刻空间，适合在巨大的冰川内享受孤独的时刻。
我们重新爬上冰阶，前往下一个攀登点。我们三个人都愿意尝试一下。对那些拒绝的人施加零压力。这项任务需要在保护装置上从一堵陡峭的垂直墙壁上下降，向后走下壁架，下降 60 多英尺，进入狭窄的裂缝。这个没有楼梯。在极具挑战性的攀登之前，这只是一个可以短暂休息的壁架。再一次，西蒙知道如何鼓励和指导，让所有 3 个人都倒下并安全返回。每个人都精疲力竭，但也对自己所取得的成就感到高兴。西蒙鼓励我们其他人探过裂缝，了解他们所经历的事情。当他鼓励我进一步向前倾身越过裂缝（用安全带和绳索牢固地固定住）时，他问我是否能看到底部：“是的”我撒谎了，膝盖敲着。对下一个接近边缘的人说：“现在不要像你妈妈那样作弊了！往下看。”对于导游来说，这真是太棒了，他允许我捏造事实并仓促撤退，因为他知道我太害怕了，但又鼓励下一个排队的人充分体验这一刻，因为他知道她能做到。
当我们离开冰川时，我们向西蒙提出了很多问题。他拥有丰富的知识和经验，并乐于分享他所知道的东西。我们望向冰川另一边，看到几大群人在排队等候几分钟，尝试一项技能，但没有一个能达到西蒙给我们提供的关注和挑战。我们有多幸运？很幸运。
