yeah, I think the length will be perfect for you.

looking forward to the pics of you throwing rodeos off cliffs (since you’ll able to ride like Travis now)

Was that pics of me in a stretcher???? Or the actual mid flight panic on my face????

so stoked - what a day. Bagged the Shakushi-dake peak (2880m) then had the scariest mandatory air over a crevasse 10 feet wide in places and bottomless, just to get in the chute. Then things were dreamy until we hit a rock field and I got 3 coreshots -but it’s all good.
Last day of an epic season with good buddies. 59 days this year - not bad at all! raspberry

TR won’t be going up today. There were 5 of us, so I need to get everybody’s pics first.
Here’s the route:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

green = way up
red dots = way down

The first red dot is where the crevasse was.

Here’s me landing the mandatory crevasse air. Not the best timing on the pic lol. Note I had to slam on the brakes right after landing as there were two more crevasses

lol. yeah gotta really trust your board, and yourself. and this was at 1:50pm and we had been hiking since 5:20am. So roughly 6.5 hours of hiking since we had one slow guy and we had about 1.5 hours of rest at different points waiting for him to catch up. (I was the 2nd slowest though)
