Watch a Ski Descent of B.C.’s Mount Harrison
With ski season only a few months away, we'll be sharing videos to get the winter stoke up
Watch a ski descent of the North Couloir of Mount Harrison. This 11,000er was the last 11,000er in the Canadian Rockies to be climbed and the largest mountain in the South Rockies.
“This project took a few years, and couldn’t have been possible without the right crew and the right conditions. The tour in was 17 km from the base of Harrison, where we set up base camp. Full documentary to come.”
The first ascent of the North Couloir was in 1978 from a road-side camp up a drainage. They climbed the right-hand of two couloirs on North Face, steep snow and ice, 40 to 50 degrees. Gain the West Ridge near summit, up ridge to summit. Read about a descent by Trevor Sexsmith and Trevor D. in 2016, read about it here.
