Looking for a little inspiration for your upcoming weekend? Then look no further than this video, which features climber, and North Face athlete, Sam Elias, working a mixed route of rock, snow, and ice in Vail Pass. The route, which goes by the name of “Red Bull and Vodka,” rises 120 feet and finishes off on The Fang, one of the toughest ice climbs around.
