VIDEO: Mark Herbison’s Perspective on The Mt Ethelbert First Descents

Based out of Golden, BC, ACMG/IFMGA Guide Mark Herbison was a stone’s throw from a line him and his friends Christina Lustenberger and Sam Smoothy had been eyeing – the first descent of the East Face of Mt. Ethelbert. The beautifully prominent peak beckoned ski tracks, and with extraordinary conditions, the trio got it done. Just a few weeks later, the same crew went back up again to tag the first descent of the South Couloir. Instead of fending off frostbite, they had to race the sun down the massive line.
