I may not be the best mountain athlete, skier, or hiker or partner or friend or lover or daughter or cousin or person, but you should see me on some loose, exposed 5.7 rock in the Tetons. Can I put choss boss on my resume, along with my expertise in coyotism and living so far below my means that I’m the richest person you’ll ever see in a ratty visor?
I decided that the day I stopped pooping blood (f**k GI autoimmune diseases) would be the day I soloed the SW Ridge of Symmetry Spire to a ski descent of the 4th class couloir. Well, it didn’t happen until July so the south facing coulie was free of snow. I skied the approach coulie instead. I put skis on my feet for the first time 3 seasons ago, and ski blades a couple months ago, so the descent was way more exciting than the climbing. I onsight soloed this ridge a couple years ago during a Picnic Triathlon with treefighter and friends. (We called it the Symnic) It was nice to come back in good health, solo the route again, and add a ski descent in July. I stashed my skis and boots somewhere up there, so I’ll be back for a second lap soon.. taken in The Grand Tetons by @vientanyl

Choss boss back with another one.. if you’ve ever thought about climbing the long Black Dike on Middle Teton, put your thoughts to rest because I’ve done it for you and made a POV loose-rock-asmr vid so you can experience the terror of Teton 5.6. I ended up turning around and down climbing the route because rappelling is dangerous, irresponsible, and sets a bad example. If you do this route, which I do not recommend unless you like adventuring up thousand feet of runout choss, bring some extra tat to replace those anchors because I totally did not. 🫣 taken in Middle Teton by @vientanyl

Casual adventure on Irene’s Arete in the Tetons. Last time I soloed this I got caught in a storm near the last pitch and was forced to climb so fast that I probably have the speed record on the route. It was nice to have condies this time. taken in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA by @vientanyl

More d3ath consequence for my idea of a good time and your viewing pleasure. Don’t try this at home unless you are lead belay certified. taken in Wind River Range by @vientanyl

Every move doesn’t have to be perfect. You just can’t fall.
(When I say feet first, I mean feet in the #4 crack, as opposed to the way I did it, with hands in)
Well, that concludes the series on the most adventurous 5.6 I’ve ever touched. by @vientanyl

Went to the Wind River Range to do some romping and ended up on the busiest ridge line on the planet. Lack of rope, and bearing a large camera on the top of my head must have symbolized some kind of handicap pass because everyone let me skip to the front of the line. Crux pitch videos to come.. what a great route. by @vientanyl

Update from today: my Mexican alpine start meant that I had to go light and fast. High sierra ridge solos are my new favorite flavor of climbing. A really good day out in a style im slightly proud of. But don’t ask my time on the route. I’m in no hurry to get out of the mountains. by @vientanyl

Rare Live update from Matthes Crest and Since I have service up here for the first time in days, and for family and friends who think I’m dead. Today, due to an interesting chain of contingencies, I got to onsight solo Matthes Crest from just before the notch of north summit and onward. Hell yeah brother. On to Cathedral… by @vientanyl

Yesterday we climbed The Incredible Hulk via Positive Vibrations 5.11. The most insane piece of rock I’ve ever been on. Top pitch efforts thwarted by The Incredible Gang Bang of climbers above us. To be continued…
