It's not ColdClimb for no reason (view)

Early one night, during a fierce October Mat-Su Valley windstorm, with gusts hitting 60 miles per hour and the temperature in the 30s, I was called for a butterfly house ornament retrieval operation, before the wind ripped them off the wall and took them away. I agreed on the condition that pictures be taken, as previously, I had no pictures of my traverse around my entire house. Being my lazy and shirt-hating self, this is what came of it all. A few nice shots of me climbing the hardest section of my house traverse shirtless and in pitch black, 35 degree, 60 mile per hour wind. Taking down the butterflies made it even harder, cause without them, the move to the second window is a swinging dyno from a three-fingertip crimp to flying feet and a windowsill death grip. Oh what fun!
