Sizing up the never ending madness!



 
Snapping a quick shot - cause I HAD too!! 30 ft out from a BD 000 C3 equalized with a #1 knifeblade...so wild, even after I cleared a ton if ice...



 
Peaking out of the hole I carved out of a curtain...SUPER bummed about the fog...



 
Throwing up a hell yeah before dancing up the last 60 ft.
