Sharper image: #AMountainofGood SILENT ART AUCTION! by @mountainsbeyondborders Edited to show you all my hard earned wrinkles. 馃槈 Birthday fundraiser has begun! Hit the link in my bio to support @mountainsbeyondborders and youth programs. That is all. Art for a good cause, anyone? 馃寗馃槏 This year, you have two mini-art options: $20 for a print, or $30 for a custom mountain. Ends Feb 21st! More escalade de glace with el pojkv盲n. @oskarlindby Original photo: @francoislebeau | Double exposure graphic, double exposure environment. Following the birthday boy up Viaduc Sainte-Marie @oskarlindby. No leading for me! I'm done with going into the deep end on steep learning curves! "There's a short approach. There's a cafe." Lies. I'm on to you @oskarlindby. Beautiful rest day nonetheless. #cascadedudard #chamonix Another day of suffering ended with a stroke of magic. Ok, maybe winter alpinism isn't so terrible after all.
