After being too jacked up watching the The Alpinist, Marina Leon and Vinny 2 Crocs embarked on what was now their 3rd attempt up the Northwest Face of Sky Pilot.

Armed with a single 8mm rope, 10 screws and a non-alpine ATC, they ventured upwards. Atop the first 60m pitch, they decided the snow was too unstable to traverse to the regular WI4 route, and decided to wander on the more technical Northerly face. Though these two snow donkeys aren't professional ice gradematicians, the constant vertical thin ice which spat out even half stubbys made them feel like they were soloing (also known as "Marc-André Leclerc'ing") WI4+/5. Seven frostbiting pick-anchor pitches later, they're 16hr journey was over.

Emotions were felt, tears were shed, and they both vowed to never climb ice again...or at least until they watched The Alpinist again.
