“June J Honnold, was born at 10:30pm on Thursday, February 17th ♥️ Things started well but after a long labor she was getting distressed so I went into an unplanned c section. June was not breathing when she came out and she barely had a heartbeat.

Sanni and I climbed a very scenic spire (Sole Incantatore on Aguglia di Goloritze, 4 pitch 6c) which is pretty impressive considering Sanni is now 5 months pregnant. Great mix of quality climbing and good swimming to make the trip feel very vacation-y.

After hiking up Mt Vinson we decided to climb the neighboring peak to the north, Mt Shinn, which I think is the third highest peak in Antarctica.
Overall, I thought that Shinn was a much cooler summit than Vinson, with much more interesting climbing.
