3/4 COULOIR - DOING LINES ON THE COULOIR 

Thanks! ya, these videos take a lot of work to put together, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I would love to see some photos if you have any would be very curious what it looked like back then!

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks man! And thanks for taking the time to watch it!

you will crush it!

Thanks man! If you need any beta hit me up!

Danke Roland!

Thanks Bob! I have been back 3 times. Its probably the most fun thing I have ever skied. Thanks taking the time to watch the video. Alot of work goes into these so I really appreciate when people take time out of their day to view them!

That’s a fair comment. I did note that the line is a “no fall zone which should not be taken lightly” in the video, which I do think is quite obvious if you start hiking up it. but maybe I can add something more in the description. I appreciate your comment. It’s a very serious line not to be taken lightly. Thanks for taking your time to comment and watch the video!

I have skied it 3x and if you drop in on the skiers right it is quite steep I would bet around 55 (it felt steeper than Aemmers at the top), but it mellows quite quickly in all areas. The skiers left side isn’t too bad at all. I have skied it 3x and danger factor really seems to change with different snow conditions. Congrats on the line! and if conditions were trash, then that is truly an accomplishment to ski it in bad conditions! Do you have any other lines on your list this spring?

Thanks for the tips! I have tried to improve that with my latest videos!

I skied it in both June and July. June was pretty powdery. July was alot more slushy. You want to be uptop early (7 or 8 am), as the mountain likes to drop rocks on you when the sun hits it. But I think its pretty important to have good ski quality on the way down. So depending on the temperature it might be worth waiting a few hours up there until she softens up. Dont ski it if its a sheet of ice, as a guy died last year when that happened. If thats the case play around up top until she softens up and then it will ski fantastic!

@@TisTheSkison awesome, thanks for the beta! Sounds like climb early, ski late(r) for better + safer descent conditions. Did any of your technical gear get used or just crampons and axes on the ascent?

@@mikedepaoligmail All i would recommend is crampons and ice axes. If you want to explore the upper glacier or stay at Neil Colgan Hut (which is at the top of 3/4 probably 700m away on a ledge) then you likely should bring rope (which is why we had it) (If you are going to do 3/4 its totally worth it to say one night at Neil Colgan as its the best cabin in the world!) I would highly recommend 2 ice axes though, but my friends were able to do it with just 1 axe. I just like the extra stability of 2. If you want to see what the skiing looks like above 3/4 check out my other video about the first decent of covid couloir. Its really cool terrain up there. And if possible I would be stoked if you would subscribe to my channel :)

That’s correct. I believe it was a few years ago, it’s a serious line, and should only be attempted in perfect conditions.

thanks :)

I actually love those skis! They ski pretty good everywhere
