Note the huge icicles and the incredible amount of 'digging in' the rope did!Believe it or not - Trevor Sexsmith skied the slope at right - off of South Twin.Skinning back to camp.Helen's team sits below South Twin.Huge ice chunks are right above Anton and will injure him seriously if he's not careful (photo by Anton Baser)The route we'll take next time goes UNDER the shadowed roll and ABOVE the hole just under South Twins ridge line.TJ and JW work on setting up a crevasse rescue high on South Twins north ridge. At this point we still had no idea if Anton was OK or not.Skiing up the north ridge on South Twin.I love Tsar Mountain's profile!Steep slopes back up North Twin. The skis aren't light either.Setting up the rappel.RESCUE COMPLETE!Skiing up the north ridge on South Twin. West Twin on the left and Alberta, Twins Tower and North Twin on the right.Skinning back to camp.Helen's team sits below South Twin.The rope disappears with Anton out of sight!Twins Tower doesn't look so 'small' from this angle! There are climber's right on its summit.Off the traverse, looking back along North Twin to the other ski team.
