Here is a question. Generally, is it easier to climb upward or downward? I would guess upward. Epic music this time, especially during the middle portion.
Glad you enjoyed it! In my opinion climbing down steep rock is usually harder than going up, because of the difficulty in seeing footholds. On really steep terrain (rock climbing) people almost always rappel down instead of downclimbing because it's much easier. Climbing down less steep rock has a harder impact on your muscles and joints.
One of my Fave Backcountry Ski tours! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Climbing on Sunday.
You're welcome! Enjoy your climb!
Super cool

Can you explain SOTA a little bit more? I'm not familiar with that

There is no such thing as class 4. After the high end of class 3 there is class 5.
