Safety First

That last post makes me feel like I'm going to get poked in the eye. So I'm going to bump it down the page with a few pictures from the Kautz Glacier last weekend.

Casey climbs the ice chute.



...skiing perfect snow below the ice chute...

I'd almost prefer to do the climb below the ice cliff rather than hit the fixed line. Almost....


Sorry I blew the exposure so badly on the the skiing photos I took of you, Casey and Eric! Great day though, guys.

SONAR

With advanced technical capablities, this week we begin with SkiSickness in SONAR. Can you feel the pressure of my sonic radiation bouncing off your body? I see you, baby.

Here are a few pictures that don't begin to describe the experience of Colchuck Peak's Northeast Couloir off the top.

This is a special place.


Mount it like you want it.


It's a lazy afternoon.


Thanks for a great trip, Eric, Monika, and Ryan!

Here is a full photoessay on SONAR that includes pictures from Eric, Monika, and the illustrious John Scurlock:
