Emilie tried the monster 3 times and turned out 2/3rds way up and came back down......wow, I sure wouldn't come down it ... greesy and fast... snow was really cornie yesterday....power robbing and you need a long track in this stuff...She only has a 154" but her RK teck 860 kit was really ripping and she almost got it done first by a lady.... but it was way more impressive turning out way up there and coming down than making it out easy... but she wanted it bad... good try Emilie... better conditions you'd have it.... Frenchie then tried the Monster with his 860 Skidoo and on his 3rd try got it done.... I climbed the Gash twice in my Pj's... thats gotta be a first, eh????? Then the monster bit me... took a chomp out of my leg... I was bit by the monster... needed a ski pull to get out of er... great footage though.... then the angry pirate gave me a smack... needed a ski pull to finish it... but Frenchie on his second try got it done... awesome!!!!!!!!! and he got stuck on his first try and came down out of the angry pirate..... Felix you rock... an amazing display of courage and skill... that chute is for turbos only!!!!! well not anymore.... Than at the end of the day he put his sled in the Irmens arm chute... and stuck it 150 - 200 ft from the top... to deep and slushy for a 154" track with not enough jam.... it really sucks climbing down 200 ft into the arm.... very steep and scary... plus the cornice was raining into the chute... Angel slipped and slid past his sled, but he caught her.... climbing back out after we turned him around wasn't much fun either.... Awesome day, awesome weather... good fun with good friends.... unloading just pass the turtle entrance... very little dirt to ride up on... Turtle should be good for 2 weeks still and boulder should be good for another 7 weeks... Amy post some pics please.. I know angel had her camera out too..... Krazy Canadian Adventures 3 teaser should be ready this weeek...dvd cover is complete too... pre -orders will be accepted this week also.... It's gonna be a really fun movie, with amazing first ascents, epic climbs... Huge cliff drops.... and two death defying wrecks... dozens of wild crashes... and some funny stuff too.... Paul,,,, that angry pirate chute is wild... no reason to climb it if you hadn't.... Irmen.... there's no reason to climb the arm either.... it's way too steep and scary... way scarier than the face of the Norns.....

You went in the wrong way, it's easy going up the valley just past the cement bridge..

Tabarnouche, what a way to end the season! Awesomness to the max!!
Dan, you Krazy son of a gun, if you hadn't told me to give the Pirate a try I never would have done it period... Thanks for believing in me!!!
I can't believe you attempted it after being bit by the Monster, gee you were gushing blood all over the top of that Angry Pirate!!!

My sleds are now stored for the summer, I need to start saving up for next year!!
Dan I can't wait to see your movie, how much footage you have so far over 10 hrs or something? LOL

Cheers everyone!!

Pics in order are:
1) Dan preparing me mentally, Krazy style!
2) Some rock clipping action
3) Light at the end of the tunnel
4) The angry pirate!! After all the wife was standing there taking the pic... A bit ironic isn't it...
