Jimmy Chin Instagram – @conrad_anker chillin’ at the icebox belay, contemplating his estranged relationship wiuth the sun while I toil above on Ulvetanna, back in 2017. Going in the shade in Antarctica meant a 10 degree drop in temps…which is normally fine…but when your base temp is -10 degrees F, it can be a little sad to leave the sun. Belay layering system on Ulvetanna = 3 base layers, synthetic puffy jacket, mid weight down jacket, big down parka, topped off with a really big down belay parka. I kept thinking about the kid in A Christmas Story.
