Skiing Ha Ling North Bowl

[@stephenclark15]

good skiing in very variable conditions...impressive

That’s another serious ski mountaineering feat, superb video. Clearly your are both expert mountaineers because when you rested and set up for the first rappel, 1. Were you two simply standing in your ski boots ? Where did you pop out of your skis and hoist them onto your pack and then down climb to that rock face where you set the anchors for your rope into the wall ? Because you could not have had the time to put on crampons, no anchor to the rock face, and the casual way (appears to the viewer) you placed your poles, your bags having them rest between your legs and the wall, no fear they might slip aside and fall! Seemed very casual to me on a mountain face but maybe there are elements that are not visible. Remarkable viewing. And two rappels , not just one, and the first one was very long, and the second one not a brief one either. Also, whoever filmed you guys coming down that face, from a distance, great idea, gives the viewer perspective !

Rappels are super sick, new bucket list item for me

Nice line Ben, making me nervous tho. Pretty warm in Canmore these days.

Did I see the Sean Pettit ski? K2 Mindbender 108ti ? Anyways, nice skiing. Nice ropework. Well filmed and edited. Good stuff.

[@joro8604]

You made it look so easy. Badass! How long does it take to hike up?

[@marksevy]

Nice one! What's the total vertical descent of that line?

[@renjamun]

Well done.

[@jaybrown3408]

Unbelievable, I assumed that was not possible on skis, first decent?

[@rippinfreshies782]

damn dog you ripped that! so sick!

[@dawntreader7079]

you handled the dust on crust with style.

[@joey475]

I always look up at this one when I'm driving past Canmore, but the mandatory rap sketches me out. You guys made it look easy! Have you climbed the Northeast Face?

[@bensoneff]

Thanks and no haven’t

[@Nuttyirishman85]

Thought you were jumping the gap, I’m delusional.

[@emaskialp]

descent without machard not very good

[@karstenlindberg6033]

Overhand knot is preferable to double fisherman, much less likely to get stuck when retrieving the rappel, as it pivots when encountering an obstacle. Great descent guys.
