All-round action hero Will Gadd is a living legend in the truest sense. Year after year, he continually pushes the boundaries of ice climbing, and even after having won every major title, from the World Cup to the Winter X Games, he still manages to impress.

A veteran of the sport, Gadd continues to seek new adventures and seems to have a boundless energy. In 2010, he once again proved his pedigree by solidly climbing a 39.62m [130ft] ice wall for 24 hours at the Ouray Ice Festival in Colorado, reaching a total height of 7.75km [4.8 miles].
