Cunningham Couloir on the Midi

Do you remember my friend of a friend from Tahoe - Kris - we had a beer with him on the first night at the Bar Nationale in Chamonix? The guy that gave us the tip about the Col de Belvedere Tour? The guy who was on the tram up the Aiguille du Midi on the firat nice day?

Well I got a tweet last night from Teton Gravity Research, they are clearly hitting their stride, and conditions are clearly stabilizing. Watch this short video as they do a free hanging rap into a steep couloir on the north face of the Aiguille du Midi. They still have another three weeks left, it will be interesting to see which steep chutes these guys tackle.

Good luck to Kris and Rylan.
