Here’s a beautiful and inspiring story of adventure in an unexpected place. It tells the tale of He Chuan, a college professor in China who spends his days in academia and his free time searching for some of the most challenging ice climbs his country has to offer. In this case, he goes looking for a challenging and remote wall that is 140 meters (460 ft.) in height that is called Merry Christmas. What he finds is so much more than just another problem to conquer.
