This last weekend Justin and I went out to the Lost River Range and climbed the White Line Couloir on Peak 11,308. It was a great climb and we made great time leaving the truck at 6 am being on the route by 7:45, summiting the route by 11:15 and being back to the truck by 12:45. It was my first mixed climb (mixed meaning rock and ice at the same time) and I led the first crux of the route, which wasn't by any means a graceful lead, but it was a great experience. Justins a great climber and I learned a lot from climbing with him. Overall a great experience, I can't wait to improve my skills and get back to the mountains.
