Couloir Skiing & Learning How to Rappel, Build Snow Anchors & Do Ski Cuts | Into the Mountains 3

- In this episode of into the mountains, I learn and practise important skills for ski mountaineering, such as how to rappel into a couloir, also known as "abseiling". The word is german for "ab" meaning down and seil translates to rope which gives the lovely word abseil "to down rope". I also had the pleasure to practise the scary skill of making a snow anchor to abseil off down an ice fall into a lovely little couloir. The last skill I was pleased to get to practise was how to ski cut (to try to release an avalanche to make the couloir safer afterwards). Enjoy.

Really interesting to see all the subtle differences guides teach on this kind of stuff. No right or wrong answers only unsafe ways to do it and its about understanding what makes it unsafe!. Great video as always Jens and looking forward to seeing you soon!
I can imagine its both interesting and hard to watch how others do it. I how ever look forward to go ski and film with you soon :)
Hello, I wonder what would you have done maybe differently, for instance in rappelling, so that we can learn from? Thanks
As someone who's just starting to dive into more technical ski mountaineering adventures, this video was insanely helpful and informational!! You guys are crushing it, keep it up!
I can recommend the Safety Lab series from Ortovox on CZcams, helped me a lot with ski mountaineering stuff. Nevertheless really nice video
Glad to hear it. But really go and learn this with professionals.
Love the honest commentary! It’s fine to have a beginner mindset when you are learning a new skill that’s completely different to what’s in your skill set, but when it’s just a little sideways step from something, you’re good at, it’s hard to stomach, the embarrassment and feelings of ineptitude. Good on you for putting yourself out there and being so open about it!
I love that line you ad-libbed - REALLY works!!
"Don't go Low,
Too Slow,
With nowhere to Go."
Perfect! I'll remember that one, you nailed it good!
It wasn´t from me I got that from a legendary mountain guide living down in New Zeeland during an avalanche course I did there. The part got cut when I creddit him.

Thanks for clarifying! And the proof was in the pudding: you remembered it easily.
Good shit. Just a mnemonic way to do this particular "pilot's checklist" before dropping - momentary clarity about what's most important to be focusing on, as you envision your drop in.
We are Incredibly lucky to access this type of expertise for free. This rappel with backup its pretty good protocol but the wood trick was 🔥 the whole point of snow picket is hacked away with a piece of wood! You could backup with a ice axe or even with a bucket belay. Im going for my second season of skiing, looking forward to this channel!
Great video!
It really shows the complexity of ski touring in challenging terrain, and how much experience you need for taking the right decisions when you are out there.
wow, I did not expect to see Dani in Jens video :-) it is a small world after all!!
Sure is!
This entire series is sick!! Glad you got some good snow as well 👍🏻.
Upwards, upwards, upwards! Ha, indeed. LOVE this series. Really appreciate the level of detail you're sharing in these. Keep them coming.
Wow this videos looks awesome!
Glad you think so!
I also did my first abseiling with Danni in Engelberg. Good times
Was lucky enough to have learned stuff like this during my time in mountain rescue. Great video! 👍🏻
Great to hear!
great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Love it!!
Great video. Thank you for making it and sharing.
Our pleasure!
Loving the new series!
I'm at the same stage of getting more into ski mountaineering, so this series is extremely helpful!
Pleased to hear it :)
Great final line out, by the way.
That was a great day out - and a proper class session/experience.❤
Thank you.
This is The best video on the subject on CZcams in my opinion. I have watched it a least 10 times! You should hire this Mountain guide (Daniel Perret) for another video. Dave Searle is good, but this is way better!
Thank you for making that film.
Its one of the best things Ive seen on the subject. Brilliant and inspiring !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super helpful, great video!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great video and content! Really really interesting
Kudos
Will be great something real like that in search avalanche or crevase rescue terrain
Thanks again🙏
Always welcome
maaan you are awesome!
Loved this vid, so well filmed!
Thank you :)
Nice to see some of these videos again! Was pretty heavy into them when I was learning to ski in 18/19(thanks for the help) and then THAT hit and these vids kind of fell off my recommendations.
Thanks for coming back Bruce! :)
Phenomenal Video
Thank you.
Nice, video series!
You know what sling Dani uses on his harness? Is it the edelrid aramid sling?
Great content. Not a generic or fluff tutorial.
Haha thanks :)
Ha! Nice!
great
Very good video. Always remember though: 2 Cuts. 1 not enough.
SWATCH got to be the goal. They are top sponsor to ski race.
Good jobs guys ✌️
✌️
Glad to see you’re making dreams come true! I could see maybe attaching a rated ring onto the cordelette that is being used on the wooden plank. This would help to eliminate rope on rope friction when pulling down the rappel rope after descent. Love this series. Keep going. Be safe out there.
Thanks for that :) Yes I why that could be good idea. But I think this is how the experienced guides etc do it mostly.
No you don't understand, it a minimal rappel anchor you left behind. 1: A rated ring cost a small fortune, maillon rapide would be even worse to retrieve an icy rope. 2: the friction only wears down the cordelette fixed point, which you will left behind, not the rope. 3, it's icy anyways, even if it cuts down it's trash that was left behind and hopefully cleaned after the season.
@@camilocarrillo2132 you do you.
@@k2thah286 sure, whats the point of the guide giving the best beta? 😅 Sorry if I came up condescending, no my native language.
What happens to the rope that is connected to the snow board anchor? I understand needing to leave the board but do you have to leave rope behind on the mountain, too?
Is that a static or dynamic rope?
How did you recover the rope from thr piece of wood? It didn't looked like you could slide it
Make a vid with Nikolai Schirmer!
I will ask some time :) I met his filmer at a trad-climbing crag in northern sweden last summer and told him to say hello to him atleast and now I assume we are BFF´s.
How old do you have to be to sign up to a freestyle camp with your team?
how is it that you're on the 2024 Bents? :)
a question when you rapel down how do you take all the carabiners that you you to connect the rope with the rocks
the rock anchor at the top is already made of the bolt and a metal ring attached to it (sometimes it could be a metal chain connected to two bolts). You put a rope through that ring and don't leave a carabiner at the top. Also, it is a good safety practice to carry so called "quicklink" - they cost ~3bucks, but you can always leave them on top in case a bolt does not have a ring (i.e leave your own "ring").
@@SviatoslavRimdenok THX man
@@SviatoslavRimdenok if you do that make sure they are stainless.. otherwise it becomes a danger for climbers after you and is a pain to remove
some feedback: 1) ALWAYS use the stop knot. not only if you think it might be too short 2) put something like a figure 8 on both ends and not just a tiny knot that can slip through your belay device. With the method shown in the video, if you have uneven ends going down you risk falling still. Apart from, that, great video!
We did use stop knots.
@@StompItTutorials great! in the first part of the movie only a small overhand on one of the lines was shown, wanted to clarify on that for others that it's better to always go safe and all the way. it is one of the more common causes of accidents still sadly
Wait, how did the guide come down the ice chute after he removed the snow anchor? Without rope?
Why did you try to cut avalanche unhooked when you could do it hooked?
When I came down still on the rope I tried a little bit on Daniels instructions. That did not work to well. I assume we did it this way beacuse he thought the consequences were not too bad.
Hard R on the prusik in english.
Where is the discord ? 😊
Just clink the link in the description.
Hey nice video, I come to Ecuador ski Cayambe ( the center of the earth, Chimborazo the higts mountan in the wold from the center of the earth., Antizana, I can get you A Nice Deal.
Sounds like a dream come true :)
