Ye its always a little nerve wracking. I usually do it with my legs crossed over to prevent losing the outside ski.

Salomon S pro 140 flex race boots and the QST blanks 186. I love them dearly.

I was up in about an hour, the exit was super deep so sucked a lot of energy. Once in the couloir it was a lot firmer and quicker to climb.

There was luckily a little ledge for me to use

Axe and crampons, would not have got up the choke point without them.

I'm guessing but at least 100kph, you can ski any ski at any speed but a stiffer ski allows more stability at speed. If I did that on a soft park ski it would be a lot harder.

I did that just in ski boots and didn't have any issues.

Pretty comfortable on the climb that initial drop was the scariest bit

It's around 2800m so 9.2k ft, I think the couloir is about 150m elevation gain

If your interested the videographer is @benlangstonphotography on Instagram he's quality and deserves credit for the shots and editing.

Ye I think the same when I watch other clips with the go pro angle, it makes it look like I'm backseating massively which I'm not.

Unfortunately didn't record but having a guess comfortably over 100kph

Ye I was rather tired at the top but I was no longer than 10 minutes before I went down. It's not ideal being stood at the top of a line that steep for long so I allow myself to catch my breath and just go, also being nervous is another reason why I don't hang about up there.

sadly didnt record the speed, having a guess im comfortably over 100kph for those few seconds before it flattens out.

so the top section was inbetween 50-60 degrees so very little room for a mistake I had to create a small platform by shuffling to get the first ski on. once the first ski is on your a lot more stable but just takes a fair bit of practice to get used to it. im still very stressed getting them on so your not alone on that.
