TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | The Natural Line: Did you know? | | On April 8th (that's today!), 2010, Andreas Fransson made the first ski descent of the east couloir on the Grand Gendarme d'Envers du Plan in the Mont Blanc range in France. For such a line to still exist un-skied in Chamonix valley, the epicenter of European skiing, is a testament to its extreme difficulty. After climbing to the top of the Grand Gendarme with ropes, harness, and ice tools, Fransson made three separate rappels into the couloir where he dropped in and and skied out safely. The Swedish native is known for his bold and technical descents that continue to push the limit of alpine ski mountaineering. | | |
