Martin Volken's guide was well into planning phase LONG before Phil and Greg skied it or even booted the couloir and printed the information on the old praxis.etla website. There are numerous older copies of that guide floating about as evidence, and the final FALCON printed version was stalled for many many reasons beyond explanation here.
If you search through these posts you'll find that months ago I made mention on this website that the couloir was termed the enigma gulley by Phil and his tong after they booted it in 99 or something. The local long existing ski tong had LONG AGO dubbed it the slot. If someone wants to call it Enigma and write an article well....
Whatever...I haven't seen the article, don't read that schwag, can't stand the industry. I would rather be skiing blues all day on 210cm straight skis than beating my chest here. I'll do it anyway...
