Yeah.
Now it seems to me that mixed climbing has evolved from making one or two moves on rock to link up icicles, to a sport practiced at the hardest levels entirely on rock with possibly a tiny little bit of ice. I think it's only accurate to state that ski mountaineering will evolve in a similar fashion and go from primarily turns and sidestepping with maybe one or two rappels, to a sport consisting of mostly rappelling with perhaps one or two turns. Yeah!
