The first ever repeat of the Whillans Ramp on Aguja Poincenot in Patagonia, after Andreas Fransson's first descent in 2012.
Has to be one of the most beautiful, terrifying, awesome lines. That 2500ft air drop, should you catch an edge up top!

Those boys have been down there for almost a month now, skiing steep lines, opening new ones and skiing some good powder for a change. Very cool to see them pull it off and repeat one of the greats. And sweet to see Tufts continue to get brought along for very cool projects. He's really become one of the main, current expedition photographers and for good reason.
Yep, it's been great following them. Vivian Bruchez' latest post is very nice. Looks cruisy, but is probably 50deg+

Ok. That’s just fucking insane.
Amazing technique. Love at the end of the video where he says that might be it. He can ski anything. But has no more challenges. Or something like that. Wow.
Yeah that is fkn primoQuote:
