The valley is lit with dim winter light. In the distance, faint threads of smoke rise from a village toward the snow-laden clouds. Beyond, there are whitewashed mountain peaks, snow-covered fir trees, and immense frozen waterfalls running down dark rock faces. It’s a typical winter scene in Switzerland’s Bernese Highlands—with one exception. Climbing one of those sheer walls of ice, solo, is Swiss mountain enthusiast and ice climber Dani Arnold.
