Is this steepest descent ever?
The first time steep skiing specialist, Giles Sierro, attempted to conquer the north face of the Blanche de Perroc in the Swiss Alps, it didn’t go well. The second time didn’t either. Yet the third time, he nailed it with finesse, becoming the first person to ever get it done. This nearly vertical run is truly hard to comprehend. Check out the full coverage from Teton Gravity Research here.
