Day 2 of our trip started out nice, it wasn't nearly as cold as I was expecting it to be, it never got below freezing and was low 40's by the time we started hiking at 8:30.

We re-rigged this with a courtesy anchor so that only lamar has to rap with the anchor just over the edge and the pull is very easy
