Great job, great video! So much work for a Chamonix run. BTW, that’s the most terrifyingly small diameter climbing rope spaghetti I’ve ever seen. What is that - Spectra, a vinyl wrapped steel cable, or…? Oh yeah, and that rappelling down and down - (and down) through jagged rock, before putting on skis and threading that couloir, is something most folks want to try… NEVER! 😎😹 (though, the “poubelle” chute running down from under the walkway bridge is something some of us have wanted to do since watching “The Edge of Never.” ) Thanks again for the vicarious fun😋Be safe.
Glad I watched it to the end, for most of the video I was thinking fuck no! That’s not fun, although once the got to the end I bet no one said, cool, let’s go back and do that again 😂
That rappel is just getting longer and longer. When I was in cham in the 90’s it was just a rope length, but locals told me that they sometimes could jump down directly from the bridge… less and less snow nowdays.
That's true Peter sometimes you could actually just jusp in, full commitment mind you but it use to be so deep you could basically fall off the bridge into it....
skied this coulie in like 2008 - went the wrong way (went straight down instead of to the right after the actual steep bit) and got lost for hours - had to hike out back to the station haha great memories :)
mon dieu!... j'en ai gardé le souvenir vécu seul aussi (à l'epoque j'ai du pitonner pour rejoindre le haut du couloir...mais bonne descente ensuite!... jean claude
I've decided that there are some things I don't need to do in my life anymore... swimming with tiger sharks, servicing reactors in Fukushima, landing a Cessna on the Red Square in Moscow and riding that ..hmmm.. ski slope.
Don’t really understand the point. Work your ass off to get to that spot and then just scrape your way down the mountain? It totally misses the entire essence of what makes skiing fun. 🤷♂️
What's so beautiful about the mountains to me is how still everything feels... no plants, no animals, no sounds from anything other than yourself and whoever's with you
@@humanbeing2420 Uhhhh, well, those turns were survival turns. No flow. No jam. Just scrape a whole bunch of snow out of the couloir and get to the bottom. No style. No flair. No gung-ho. Ever heard of Candide Thovex? Or Micah Black? Or Travis Rice? Style points count. Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked for their descent, safe, controlled , live to ski again. But was it really video material? Ski that thing! Ride those boards like you stole them. Cross the finish line upside down and on fire!
@@wdaniel9 I get what you mean, although I don't watch enough professional extreme skiing to know names, but I think your point would apply if this had been professionally filmed from another vantage point as opposed to just some Go Pro helmet-cam footage.
Complètement débile de se foutre la dedans ! Tout ça pour des vues... Consacrez donc votre énergie et votre sans froid pour aider les nécessiteux et rendre ce monde meilleur.

Et toi qui fait le malin derrière ton écran, t'arriverai à hisser ton gros cul en haut de la montagne avec tout le matos sur ton dos + dessendre en rappel ? Le seul margoulin ici c'est toi 😐
