I didn't see a post about this. I think it is worthy enough to start one.A few days ago Jonathan Blair and Jason Torlano skied Clouds Rest with a little less than 500 feet of rappelling. Badass! Congratulations guys.

Bah.
Kids have been skiing stuff I once thought would be fun climbs for over 10 years now.
First it was ice gullies, now it's granite slabs.

"Hey Bro, you gotta pair of rock skis I can borrow?"
Damn, that looks sketchy. How long is that run, and how long did it take 'em to get down?
Wild man, wild men.

I met these guys yesterday and talked to them about it in front of Reed's. Sounded like a crazy adventure. Super gnarly for sure

I was just looking at it on the webcam- it looked prime! I was going to ask if it had been done before- but then I didn't really care to take the time to post and get flamed
