Following on the thread of my recent photo of the month, I figured you'd get a kick out seeing the Arrigetch Peaks in the winter.  Last spring, a team of world class climbers went into the area to attempt a first ascent on one of the area's stunning peaks.  Corey Rich, accomplished adventure photographer & film maker, along with Tommy Caldwell and Hayden Kennedy not only nabbed a first ascent but also made this great short film. Even if you're not a climber, you'll be blown away by the footage and the winter landscape of Gates of the Arctic!

    Great video Dan. Certainly gives great insight and a glimpse at the remoteness and beauty of the region.
