Amazed this hasn't been picked up yet. Saw over on British Backcountry Skiing's Facebook page that Pete MacKenzie had skied Hell's Lum gully yesterday. Propers!

Its May... everyone (bar a few) loses interrest in skiing once April is done...

Similarly Brit repeats of the Mallory (not rare), Frendo (very rare), and Gabarrou-Cordier (reasonably rare) went relatively under the radar in the last week. But then when is it a newsworthy descent, and what is it someone just having a fun day out...?

Is that a grade 3 climb?

You can see the video stills here: http://www.winterhighland.info/touring/index.php?50,3603

From the pictures, it looks to me in Grade II condition. It only happened yesterday, and initially, only discussed on a Facebook group, so can understand why it "hasn't been picked up yet". I also agree with the sentiment above about someone just having a fun day out.

Just saw this this morning. A pretty impressive and mind blowing descent by all accounts! Looking forward to seeing the headcam video so I'm sure we'll hear lots more about it...
