Little edit from the top half of Kalhiltna Queen. First known descent in 2010 by Antoine Bletton and co who graded it 5.5, E4, 1,000m for Euro comparison. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣It was super cool to find a way through without using the rope, which was fairly intricate and fully engaging. Ice was never far below the snow with sustained 55 degree pitches and spines above big exposure as we had to avoid some easier slopes due ice. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Yet here, the snow was very stable. The skiing was technical but objectively safe. It was just after this that Jesper set off the small slab. The subtle differences between what we perceive to be dangerous and what actually is dangerous is an ongoing lifetime of learning for mountain athletes. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Probably the best ski line accessible from Kalhiltna basecamp and a prominent summit dividing 3 huge glacial basins. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣@jesperpeterssonn @sonilmose @blackcrows_skis @jottnar @plum_officiel #scarpa_uk @scarpa_uk @we_are_sungod @hestragloves #hestragloves ⁣ ⁣PC @colinhaley1
