Impressive first descent of the Caroline Face of Aoraki by a team of 3. Last attempt ended in the death of one of the skiers a couple of years back: huge objective dangers much of the way down too.

That's seriously impressive, as the Caroline has got to be one of the most dangerous faces I've ever seen!

Bloody hell - that's a couple of death-on-a-stick routes in a week.
They are clearly amazingly skilled - hopefully they remain very lucky too.
