How do you make something inherently dangerous yet incredibly beautiful as safe as it can be? What is the value of taking risks? What are humans capable of? I'll let the video of Molly's sublime dive (full show in my bio) answer those questions and just say this was the most intense, complicated, and in the end magic project I've ever been involved with. Molly, you're a damn fine human, and it was an absolute pleasure to help you launch into space. Thank you for inviting me into your dream, and being such a solid partner on the whole project. To the team we worked with and who made it happen, my deepest thanks and respect, I'd go anywhere and do anything with you. I've written a deep debrief of how and what we did to pull this off, but for now here's a quick clip from the video, link in my bio to the full show! Yeah!!!

Ice climbing meets cliff diving, bringing us a world-first athletic achievement.
After months of preparation and mentorship from SCARPA athlete @realwillgadd, @mollycarlson1 became the first woman to dive from an iceberg.
Redefining what it possible. Moving through fear. Proving no place is too far.

"Shut up and die like a man!" sounds like a line from a bad action movie, but a paragliding competition director broadcast those exact words toward a pilot who thought he was falling to his death. The pilot had accidentally keyed open his radio's mic, making his frantic screams audible to all.
In a new essay, renowned climber, pilot, and paraglider Will Gadd reflects on the culture of death in mountain sports alongside the tendency to ignore the trauma it creates. While he says this culture is evolving, it still has a long way to go.

Bravery is a team sport.
Here’s something the @redbull Iceberg Dive reminded us 🥹🧊
Behind every brave moment, there’s often someone who believed in us before we believed in ourselves.
Someone who reminds us we’re capable when our confidence is shaky. Who stands beside us when the butterflies turn into bats 🦋🦇 Someone who reminds us that we don’t have to face the scary stuff alone.
And maybe that’s the most beautiful part of bravery.
It’s not always about what we accomplish. Sometimes it’s about the people who help us believe that we can.
The ones who show up. Who stay. Who cheer us on. And who remind us that even on our hardest days, we are never alone.
So here’s to the people in your corner. And to being that person for someone else, too.
Thank you, @mollycarlson1 and @realwillgadd for showing us exactly this, in the most EPIC way possible 🥹
We believe in you, BraveGang 💗 always.

SCARPA North America Athlete Team Summit in Estes Park, CO.
We spent the time re-connecting, learning about new product, sharing stories, and planning projects for 2027.
We even got to sneak away for an afternoon of climbing.
Shoutout to @daohouse for hosting us at their beautiful lodge.
Special thanks to all who attended!

Australian Ice, really? Link in bio to the full film!
There’s really ice in Australia? I felt like I was on a massive sandbagging mission at first, but the truth is that there is some pretty cool ice climbing in Australia, and the skiing is neat too! So is the Rock! and Kangaroos! And Australians! A huge thanks to @hughnewall, @Bensanfordmedia and @Dayginprescott for an absolutely stunning trip to a place you won’t believe is in Australia, check the film out, it’s good fun like the place.
And also a call to action to all you Aussies: Blue Lake is WAY better than you’re giving it credit for, and you slackers should get your asses up there and climb WAY more cool mixed and dry lines (that don’t hurt the existing rock routes of course)! I often find people don’t give their local scene enough credit, believing that the “real” goods are elsewhere. But if Blue Lake were in Canada it would have lineups on the routes, 100 mixed climbs to do, and rad shots in social media. Seriously, it’s GOOD, and bigger than a lot of the routes I’ve climbed and loved. Look at Haffner in Canada; Blue Lake has at least that amount of potential! There is very little to learn about ice, mixed and alpine climbing that can’t be learned at Blue Lake. I underestimated it too, and brought a lousy sleeping bag thinking, “How cold can it be? It’s Australia!” I froze my toe one night while we were camping, that's how cold it can be! I guess there is the camping component, but still, that’s part of being an “alpinist” so go get it!
Thanks to @Arcteryxausnz, @redbullcanada, @blackdiamond and @kiaaustralia
for the support to make this whacky adventure happen!

It’s finally live! Ice Climbing Down Under with @realwillgadd & @hughnewall on YouTube now.
In July 2025, Will came over for a week, and although plan A was to climb the harder mixed lines that occasionally form at Ben Lomond in Tassie, weather forced the more reliable option: Blue Lake in NSW. Compared to massive routes in Canada, it’s cute by comparison. Still, being one of the world’s best ice climbers, Will managed to find some tricky lines to keep things interesting.
I cannot thank @_camerondrew enough for his work on the edit, and @wuckiesounds work on the mix really brought it all together. They’re both wizards, and I’m insanely grateful for their help!
Huge thanks to @hughnewall for the inception of the idea and trusting me to capture it all. I’d previously thought about shooting with Will in Canada, but never actually considered bringing him out to Australia.
Grateful for @dayginprescott without all his help shooting additional motion angles and stills, we would’ve missed some key moments. Also for sharing a tent in the snow with me when I was sick, poor bugger.
This also wouldn’t have been possible without the legends who helped fill gaps with their existing archives: @ads.ventures , @whereswalle , @hughnewall , @spencerfrostfilms , @jeremyfilmsthings , and the crew who shot Will’s archival footage, though unfortunately I don’t know who they are to credit them properly.
Massive thanks to @adamdarragh for his quintessential Aussie voice and many re-reads as the edit kept evolving. It seemed fitting that the final climb we see in the film was first soloed by Adam back in the ‘90s, in conditions he described as far more forgiving than the thin, delaminated smear Will enjoyed.
Link in bio, here’s some of my stills from the trip.
