Terrifying Ski Descent: Cunningham Couloir (passerelle) - Aiguille du Midi

[@alaskabarb8089]

Great job, great video! So much work for a Chamonix run. BTW, that’s the most terrifyingly small diameter climbing rope spaghetti I’ve ever seen. What is that - Spectra, a vinyl wrapped steel cable, or…? Oh yeah, and that rappelling down and down - (and down) through jagged rock, before putting on skis and threading that couloir, is something most folks want to try… NEVER! 😎😹 (though, the “poubelle” chute running down from under the walkway bridge is something some of us have wanted to do since watching “The Edge of Never.” ) Thanks again for the vicarious fun😋Be safe.

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

The skill of these people is incredible 👍👍

[@PeterFagerberg]

That rappel is just getting longer and longer. When I was in cham in the 90’s it was just a rope length, but locals told me that they sometimes could jump down directly from the bridge… less and less snow nowdays.

[@humanbeing2420]

Eventually it won't be skiable at all.

[@cecilieogier8873]

​@@humanbeing2420 3500 mètres... Puissiez vous avoir tort !

[@markjones3425]

That's true Peter sometimes you could actually just jusp in, full commitment mind you but it use to be so deep you could basically fall off the bridge into it....

[@stevenhaff7973]

Such beautiful terrain and setting. Wow, feels like a bucket list item. Joy in the simple act of watching. Thank you for posting this.

[@jeanclaudemettefeu]

mon dieu!... j'en ai gardé le souvenir vécu seul aussi (à l'epoque j'ai du pitonner pour rejoindre le haut du couloir...mais bonne descente ensuite!... jean claude

[@maguilecutty]

skied this coulie in like 2008 - went the wrong way (went straight down instead of to the right after the actual steep bit) and got lost for hours - had to hike out back to the station haha great memories :)

[@diegozaninetti8409]

Merveilleux, quelle neige et quelle descente les gars!

[@inventorofgaming]

I love taking the time to watch these, awesome as always

[@eternaldoorman5228]

Magnifique! Now I understand why people learn to ski!

[@vegazenp924]

Vidéo exceptionnelle bravo les gars

[@jayhoughton4174]

Glad I watched it to the end, for most of the video I was thinking fuck no! That’s not fun, although once the got to the end I bet no one said, cool, let’s go back and do that again 😂

[@markwitford2756]

wow. absolutely incredible. very brave. well-skied. bravo!!!

[@jean-jacqueslegall6860]

vous êtes des gros malades...mais c'est tellement bon 😉

[@coreonstyx]

nice vid

[@cubocraft192]

Vraiment terrifiant même a la caméra.. J'imagine pas le rendu en vrai..

[@markjones3425]

Hard to believe that in 1978 it use to be a 10m rap off the bridge and an easy hip deep ski down to the tunnel....

[@SuperMotown50]

Y'en a un qui descend le couloiravec les batons ? Pas de piolet au cas ou ? 😮 Quelle belle poudreuse sur la fin! 😊

[@mickeyhoward3851]

Were the lifts not working that day?! Only kidding - v nice video..

[@that.guy.that.likes.cookies]

i love this so much, and this is sparta

[@user-ec5jq3np3d]

Maravilloso!

[@randyvaughn4046]

Incredible.!!! ❤

[@andreasmerkel5717]

I've decided that there are some things I don't need to do in my life anymore... swimming with tiger sharks, servicing reactors in Fukushima, landing a Cessna on the Red Square in Moscow and riding that ..hmmm.. ski slope.

[@kemalican]

Was awesome to watch, especially the last stretch

[@marcuswebb9954]

Awesome adventure :)

[@ricolamike]

Great video.

[@cecilieogier8873]

Bon petit délire qd on connaît les lieux ; j aurais jamais osé! 👍

Respect for you

[@YourNumberOneAgents]

Pure joy!!

[@Melpheos1er]

There is insanity and just above : this

[@Dan-rp7il]

looks less like skiing and more like survival i suppose this is fun for someone

[@samdrieux]

Wouah la neige est belle

[@jojoski2]

les 2 dernières minutes donnent bcp plus envie que les virages sautés de haur de couloirs

[@marcpodrzycki1326]

Couillus.. et veinards! Bravo

[@marekzsw2982]

easy and smooth

[@bertan8510]

Impressive but still crazy

[@IMP3TIGO]

Mountaineering in ski boots is just nuts.

[@PaoloParolini]

Zabardast!!!

[@guy-claudeperilly8611]

Joli !

[@lilianchance9384]

Terrifiant carrément

[@MrRedterrier]

Why?

[@edwardlobb931]

Great fun, being careful.

[@sportevolutionclusone7200]

Con una neve così......TOP

[@ramonalfaro5877]

Veinards!👍👍👍

[@jeanriff7954]

Veinard ❤😊

[@euridiceplo6296]

Pourquoi le gars il fait un trou dans la neige, vers 1,50 mn ?

[@MrVorpalsword]

unbelievable, just to get out of paying for the return* trip on the cable car. * retour

[@user-uw6hd7ji2z]

[@matthewbrightman3398]

Go straight down!!!

[@visivan]

Gnarly

[@simsnqta]

F*ck me... I could barely breathe up there coming on the cable car... This is insane...

[@86WTH]

7:20 🤪

[@Crodmog83]

Totaly nuts

[@wdaniel9]

All due respect, MAKE SOME TURNS!

[@humanbeing2420]

As opposed to what? He was making turns all the way down.

[@wdaniel9]

@@humanbeing2420 Uhhhh, well, those turns were survival turns. No flow. No jam. Just scrape a whole bunch of snow out of the couloir and get to the bottom. No style. No flair. No gung-ho. Ever heard of Candide Thovex? Or Micah Black? Or Travis Rice? Style points count. Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked for their descent, safe, controlled , live to ski again. But was it really video material? Ski that thing! Ride those boards like you stole them. Cross the finish line upside down and on fire!

[@humanbeing2420]

@@wdaniel9 I get what you mean, although I don't watch enough professional extreme skiing to know names, but I think your point would apply if this had been professionally filmed from another vantage point as opposed to just some Go Pro helmet-cam footage.

[@humanbeing2420]

Actually, I've seen Candide Thovex's skiing - that guy is on a whole other level. Insane.

[@tj7870]

what's the point? nice video!

[@dhochee]

Too much work at the start, but the run starting at 7:30 looked really fun.

[@ObsidianFrog]

......qua ?........

[@stevet.3630]

It‘s called skiing rather than stopping - keep it up and you’ll get there!

[@molder2233]

Don’t really understand the point. Work your ass off to get to that spot and then just scrape your way down the mountain? It totally misses the entire essence of what makes skiing fun. 🤷‍♂️

[@MyCryptoContent]

These guys are also climbers and hikers. If you only like skiing then yeah, you'll never understand the point.

[@gianlucarosti8592]

Un errore, anche piccolo e sei morto!

[@wellenformTV]

Where is the fun? Stressful descent that's only done to let other people watch how cool it is. Generation Red Bull.

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

How 🤔 utterly stupid 😮

[@laurent___4431]

C est un remake des bronzes font du ski 😂. 3 margoulins qui ne savent même pas utiliser des bâtons 🙈

[@edbzn]

Merci mais les bronzés font du ski ça reste un cran en dessus.

[@MyCryptoContent]

Et toi qui fait le malin derrière ton écran, t'arriverai à hisser ton gros cul en haut de la montagne avec tout le matos sur ton dos + dessendre en rappel ? Le seul margoulin ici c'est toi 😐

[@Britishandproud123]

Amazing 😀😊

[@jamesdick4383]

jeez forget the minging snow conditions on the top part. From 7:50 was well worth it
