The Swinging Sultanas

Skied by Fred Marmsater, Kip Garre, Courtney Phillips and Andrew McLean (photos).

Ski descent of the Sultana Ridge, Alaska - June, 2009.

The not so cruxy crux of the Sultana ridge. This was about 50' of 80 degree snow. We fixed a rope on it, but it wasn't very helpful as it was just as easy to bust right through it.
