Provo Ice & mixed

Somebody’s V-Thread melted out. Free rappel ring and sling for us! We assumed a 70m rope could reach back to the ground. We were wrong, but we got to rap through this hole in the curtain. Chad leading through an awkward start.

Watch

After the first week of climbing in Frey, we knew a storm was going to blow through over the weekend. So we collapsed the tent before we hiked back to Bariloche so that the wind wouldn’t tear it up since we wouldn’t be there to check on it. Well, turns out zippers aren’t waterproof. Thankfully we put the sleeping bags in trash bags ‘just in case’. Everything else was...
