Re: Awesome shot!

Thanks Dan. That was as steep as we have seen the third pitch of Shades and we have climbed this route likely 5-6 times each. The ice seems to always form up big and blue.

It is an amazing line, and although the guide labels it easy for the grade, I have always found it to be a solid grade 4.

Nice shot of my bro...

I love how the picture captures all of the background ice...it just seems to go on and on.
