"It's one of the most interesting ladder sections we've ever built in that it's so long. This wall is almost 60 feet tall. What we had to do — there was no way to exit out of the Icefall except straight up this wall — so we tied nine ladder sections together with ropes... It creaks, it moves, it wobbles... As you get right in the middle of it, it's a heck of a ride. It's scary." — Todd Burleson
