- Right. - Anything you wanted to say, besides on anything about your gear for the season? - Well, this is gonna be pricey, but it's gonna be fun, I'm excited. - Yeah. - For the entire season. - But I mean, it's like, like I said, there's probably some more stuff that we think I'm like harnesses, right? That's where stuff is kind of all the same across the spectrum. I mean, slight differences, but we don't have a few options out there anyways. And you make it work a lot, a little bit of harness. Like you've made some work, I did that last year. - Heck, you've used a, just a normal like, sport climbing harness. - I'll be it, that's not great for during the Grand Teton and like running it in an eight year pack. That was like half my pack in a single like item and it was a cold day, you lost a gear. Not great for when you're only having a other ski pack and you need a gear for a big day as well. Not ideal for all that, but you can definitely hack it and it's safe for that. So to an extent, so yeah. - Nice, awesome. Well, thanks for coming on the podcast. - Yeah, I mean, stoked to be here. - Yeah, it's gonna be fun. I'm excited to have a good conversation right off the bat and have a good ski season. - Yeah.
