Thank you! It's a fun one and isn't too steep at all but it does have the rappel. 50m or more rope would make the rappel no problem. On big snow years we can do it with a 35m so its like a 20m give or take rappel typically. The second, optional rappel is longer but anyone with some good experience can easily down-climb or ski it.
The rappel feels like it is in a safe place from avalanche danger but it is not. The cliff above it has a hanging bowl that does slide from time to time naturally and so that is the big risk on this run. Don't spend more time than necessary at the rappel station (the 6 cave).
Thanks for all the great info.! I appreciate how quickly you get the rappel going. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do it this year. I've been amusing myself by watching your videos lately. Thanks so much for posting! Your footage is amazing!!!
Sandra Giesler thanks!! Hopefully we get some snow soon so I can make some new ones. There is a “kinda” new one I made last night with some old footage, whittled my whole season down to under 3 minutes; that was more difficult than most of the lines lol.
Beyond incredible. Thank you very much for posting. You have got the biggest balls of all. But most of all, glad you folks had fun, but more importantly, you got out safely. Well done.
