I always had this vision of what I wanted to become. So I became. It took me four years of learning how to ice climb, following routes and taking a slow progression. This week, I led the great white icicle for my first time. I also skied it for the first (and quite possibly last) time. It was an awesome opportunity to put a lot of technical skills that I've learned to use! Huge thanks to @acpictures and @irving_matthew for partnering up to help me document this, for the support and encouragement and for providing safe belays while I was on lead and on skis. #bigmtndreams photo: @acpictures
