On Peak 2 I skied down below a convexity, parked myself off to the side of the kill zone and told Peter to centrepunch the convexity. What could possibly go wrong?

Instructions to Dan. Try to look slutty and hit skiers left which is steeper but just a tad bit more exposed. Trust me....

Finished up Peak 2 as we saw a group who'd been helidropped skin off to Peak 3. We already knew there were tracks on Peak 3 from the day before and it was kind of nice to chill for a bit after the frenetic pace of the morning so we watched a conga line form on Peak 1 while we ate and replenished liquids. Then off we went for Peak 3. Nice views of our track on Peak 1 and also our route up the morning glacier which was getting used even in the solar affect of mid-afternoon. Also a classic view of Peak 1 and Peak 2 from the approach to Peak 3.

No tracks on Peak 3's glacier except a party before who'd taken skiers left

excellent stuff!
Lee, that's sick. I am literally hard right now.
Any chance you got pics of the two up Aussie?

That looks awesome Lee, thanks for sharing
Afraid not as I was focused on getting on and off slopes quickly so as to not compromise the groups behind us. We lost count of people booting up Joffre side as it was not just Aussie but other lines which saw ascents.Quote:

Nice shooting! Nice skiing too!Quote:

Which other ones were rotated?

Using the old line "Let me go first to take pictures" I snake tracks down the face. It never fails to work.

200m down. Another 900m to go down this central part of the face before we get to the lake so far below

Hey Dan would you mind gapping those crevasses. OK!

Dan takes off and Yolo's down a section of this 1km wide glaciated face to our skiers left. Filip and Peter and I see a ramp a little to his right and we gut it

Instead of looking at the bottom of the frame look at the horizon. That looks horizontal to me. The rotation therefore must be to correct for the camera not being held horizontal.Quote:

Ha!! Another mystery solved for the great Inspector PG Clouseau up there.Quote:

I got a grid feature. But perched on a convexity with sluff around me, standing on a tilted slope, sunny af and looking thru a screen (RX100 doesn't have optical viewfinder) using the grid is one less thing I think about. Getting shots of my friends who've never skied these faces before, getting them onto the next slope ahead of the crowds behind us and keeping things tight and moving were more a priority,Quote:

The last third of the glacier descent gives us N facing pow and opportunities to do some serac jibbing. Fortunately the lakes on the exit are all still nicely frozen making for a quick run out on tired legs and lots of opportunities to see the lines in the sun as opposed to this morning's starlight

I think a localized wind event caused your camera to be tilted like that
There's cell signal on some of the peaks. I was trying to buy BTC and GameSTONK and take picturesQuote:

So, +5 degrees of difference from photo 1 untouched to photo 2 below it (zoomed in). Just seemed not on the same horizon line.
My wind-research spills over into that field as well as many others. Ha ha :)Quote:

It was just a question. I don't see what is insane about the observation.
When it comes to boots I just like the Hawk.Quote:
