50 | Climbing The Fishhook Arete on Mt. Russell w/ Kyle Broxterman

Welcome back everyone!

While, thankfully, nothing dramatic occurred, we talk about the new permit logistics found for the Whitney Portal area, the complications of professionally documenting a high alpine ascent, the benefits of radios in the alpine, and finally the play by play of our climb…which included a single nut rappel made after a route finding error.
