This week Chris and Jonny faced up to the daunting prospect of climbing a wall of ice.

The pair headed over to Vertical Chill in London's Covent Garden, where their 'mountain' guide for the day was leading British climber Tim Emmett - who currently holds the title for doing the Hardest Ice Climb in the World.

Hey - how icy cool was that.... next stop Columbian Glaciers please (you do know how far Tim is prepared to go when it comes to new frontier challenges, Chris and Jonny???). And...(here's an idea for the 'BBC Visions' department), wouldn't Evans scaling a glacier make good TV?

IrishCath has made an excellent point! I think these little snippets could easily be 25 minute programmes - including a bit on the history of the sport, the trainers and leaders in the field and of course Chris & Jonnys efforts along with the bloopers and inevitable beeps. I think this would make great TV
