Jimmy Chin Instagram – I often take things for granted in the mountains since I’m usually focused on the climbing, efficiency, and speed. It was nice to be reminded by @brielarson to slow down and enjoy the first sun and warm rock of the day after a frigid morning and cold pitch below. I’d never thought of hugging the mountain before either (see the second shot) 😂 I think she was pretty stoked to be at the belay. This was from a 16-hour round-trip push on the Petzoldt Ridge of the Grand Teton. Proud first route on the GT for Brie and @risemovement. There may have been a little sandbagging involved…
