What a crazy day in China. Wicked cold temps, and long hours…but through it all I managed to qualify for the semi-finals. This picture was taken by my good friend @nathankutcher , where he met me near the top. So excited. @outdoorresearch @clifbar @scarpana @ascensionfitness @alpineclubcan @highcountrysports
