About this pattern

A mountain climber standing on the snowy top of a mountain with both arms raised, holding an ice axe up in one hand. The climber faces you in a red helmet, a blue jacket with orange straps and an orange belt, navy mittens and trousers and red boots, with two dark eyes and a small red mouth. The mountain is gray, lighter on its left face and darker on its right, with a white cap of snow that ends in a toothed edge. Dark brown outline. The figure is the same on both sides apart from the axe, and the two faces of the mountain are the same shape. Full crosses only.

55 stitches wide by 61 high: 1,388 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 7 more).
