2/3 Nighttime magic

You never know what conditions will be on alpine missions.Weather, Timing and stoke generally guide when something goes down. That’s why it’s so much sweeter when the hard work yields such magical moments in the sky 🌌

Prior to coming back from a nighttime cold dip courtesy of some remnant snow and a deep enough alpine tarn, I questioned whether or not an evening coffee and a nighttime session was going to happen. back at camp, we realized the dusty haze on the horizon was actually the aurora. I took one look at @geralds.moves and knew I better get the stove fired up for a late night brew.

2 hours later the second session came to an end, no whips, still terrified, exposure sequences and shoulder stands in a void of darkness.
As an athlete in the mountains, the magical moments aren’t the easy ones. The landscape defines itself, it’s up to us to be ready for it.

Thanks to @geraldsitu and @slackmau for all the work during a bug filled evening.
