May 3rd: Scored epic conditions in the X couloir earlier this month. Great snow made for a memorable descent. Springtime in the rockies is delivering! Follow Issy and I on instagram www.instagram.... www.instagram....
wow... just a small request, I'd be real curious to know just how steep that bit was when you popped off your skis and climbed down for a bit... would have loved if you gave us a camera shot to the side and up after that bit.. as someone who watches these videos trying to get a sense of if it's within my ability level I would really like to see more of those angles since it's almost impossible to tell otherwise... I can see that this is insanely steep in a lot of spots, but where I can tell looks doable for me ... I also board so these crazy spots are either slam in a couple turns or don't do, I'm not the the type to buttslide half the snow off the chute
Fantastic ski mountaineering. Looks a lot like some of the terrain in the Dolomites. That’s quite a climb, especially the last bit. And then the rope line to assist your partner’s entry. Additionally the couloir got really narrow. That part you down-climbed just using your poles, did she do the same, why no ice-axe/picks there ? You had to have been wearing crampons? One thing I am trying to understand is how in this clip you and you partner when skiing are charging even in the steepest of terrain, but when I see skiers in the Dolomites, they seem much more cautious unless it’s World Cup level free-rider but even they slow down etc ? Just curious on your take. Nice work. Never heard of Mt Whymper, but that was steep.
Was there in April. Wish I could comment with a picture showing how ridiculous that line looks from below. Recognized the name, thanks for all the MINs, glad at least a few others are willing to share info....seems like most get too selfish to share reports in a "bad-ish year" , yea a terrible start but still found plenty of good days
@@namelesskat4814this year was worse early season/mid winter but was better late season and spring. Last year there was practically no spring, went nuclear late April and stayed hot.
@@namelesskat4814for the Rockies at least. I think last season was below av but decent in the Columbias/selkirks but this year was really bad for them. A few nasty rain storms came through this season
