At least when Jason hurt himself (wasn't his knee, it was sticking the tip of his ski up his nose) I was able to ski something. So that doesn't really count.

Got a big smile from Dave S. after telling him you ski'd this Ross. Being that he's an avid AT skier the only question he had was how you passed the runnels. Cheers on a bitchin' descent.

In the right conditions! I've climbed it twice. The first time would have been a breeze (in a very very relative sense) compared to the second time. The second time you definitely would never have caught me in there with skis, and it would have been scary as hell, at least to me.

Josh, you're right, the skiing itself is not that difficult. It is only moderately steep, but it is severely exposed for most of the 2,200 and some odd vertical feet. Kinda like free soloing 5.9 or something....feels nice and easy...just don't blow it.

Excellent trip report and congrats on a great ski descent. Continued to be impressed at some of the lines being done. One aspect that truely amazes me, is that many trips are done in a single push. For me, even if the skiing in your opinion is "not that hard", my legs would be tired which would make the exposure that much more intense. Cheers.

Nice ski!
The mental fatigue musta been off the charts. Not to many ski lines require that concentration level for that duration of time.
