Nice video. Will be very interesting to see the lines they choose on some of the class 5 stuff in the San Juans.

Pretty cool to see this, and also to look over his completed list. He's made a lot of progress towards completion, impressive.

Re: If I had the time and money... dude's got it good
Nope, not ranked. You can see their list here. Jagged and Dallas are probably the biggest challenges; I assume they'll be rappelling off the summits of those two.Somewhat of a Prick wrote:Is he going to drop in off the top of the Spire?

Did anyone see Warren Miller's Flow State last year? There is an entire section with him and a few others heli-skiing in the San Juans. Wonder if he'll count anything from that on his list or if is going to climb and then ski.

Here's a few screen grabs from Flow State. Anyone recognize any of these San Juan peaks?

Re: If I had the time and money... dude's got it good
Yep, I was referring to Jagged, Dallas, and Teakettle. I havent done those particular peaks, but I see they did rap Teakettle.Jim Davies wrote:Nope, not ranked. You can see their list here.

Re: If I had the time and money... dude's got it good
It would be more or less impossible to ski off the summit of Teakettle or even huck it. There'd be no way to get a run at it so you'd literally have to just hop off the top and the only terrain feasible for a landing is more or less flat ground 35 feet below. I can't see them skiing off the summits of Jagged or Dallas either. I have a feeling at least those 3 will go down as the "Sunlights and Wetterhorns" of the Centennial ski project. Still cool to ski from below the class 5 sections though. Beats hiking down!
