It's been a winter to remember in the Wasatch. This season, I decided to make the most of it by sticking around home and finishing a project in my backyard that I have been working on for the past five years to climb and ski all the lines in "The Chuting Gallery" (a ski mountaineering guidebook to the Wasatch written by @straightchuter). I am down to the final few. It's been such a good winter that I was able to ski an ice climb.

After climbing the 4 pitches on lead with skis on my back, I rappelled in (p4), skied from p4 to bulge on p3 on ski belay, rappelled over bulge on p3, skied into p2 on belay, skied off belay mid p2, skied p1 without belay on skiers left of ice bulge. I was able to ski and make turns through quite a bit of it! #bigmtndreams
