"Nice tights, you guys are idiots, I'm a guide, I know a lot."



Congrads to all involved!



Jared hadalready done it in7:21 last month climbing and skiing wth 2companions that continued on the traverse.







Nathan Brown, was dropped itto 7:15:33…car-to-car.Nate went solo, used steel crampons and two ice tools, Dynafit TLT5 Performance boots, custom 160cm Igneous, and down-climbed the Chevy Couloir, as opposed to rappelling.









Then the batman team went at it.
