On Snow and Ice and Rock

Episode 6: Summer

In the final episode of the On Snow and Ice and Rock series, Brandon Gust and Dorian Densmore find themselves getting up high in the Tetons to take advantage of snowfall that lasted long into last summer. Ropes, crampons and ice axes allow them to get to some lines that only few have skied before. The series ends, fittingly, where it began, in the Tetons with some beautiful shots that remind us of the awesome power of these mountains.

Combine that with even more skilled camera/editing work from Brandon Gust, and we have another great chapter in this story.
